Our Hearts

"Above all else guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it."  Proverbs 4:23  (NIV)

One of my favorite verses, reminding me to take care of my heart, to watch over it with diligence like a mother over a child. To take care of what goes in and what comes out. We are misguided to think that there are so many things more important than this; nothing is more important than caring for your own heart. Our own unique way of being true in this world depends on observing and watching over our heart. Like tending to a garden, we plant or are given seeds on the wind that take root - it is up to us to garden the healthy plants so our hearts can nurture the green shoots of love, joy, peace and happiness. All our thoughts and actions come from our hearts, the wellspring of life.
