CARING FOR YOUR HEART
Today's reading:  Proverbs 4

"Above all else, guard your heart, for it affects everything you do."  Proverbs 4:23 NLT

I am no doctor.  I do not play one on TV.  I am probably a bit too squeamish for such a profession, but I do know this...our hearts matter.

Let your heart skip a few beats and see how you feel.

Allow an artery to get clogged, slowing down the heart's functioning ability, and see how that goes for you.

Try ignoring a heart attack.

See if a stroke doesn't throw you for a loop.

Or, worst yet, allow bitterness, unforgiveness, anger and unrepented sins to lie around in your heart for a while.

Try to enjoy the full life God has intended us to have harboring grudges and scheming revenge.

It won't work.

Our hearts, the workings and the emotions of them are vitally important to our living.

Check your heart today.
