✨ DAY 2️⃣6️⃣— Proverbs 4:23

"Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are all issues of life."

I once thought guarding my heart simply meant avoiding heartbreak in relationships. You know, being careful who you love and who you let close. But as I grew, I realized it’s much deeper than that.

There was a season when I allowed almost anything into my heart — people’s opinions, negative words, toxic friendships, even unhealthy habits. I laughed at jokes that were poisonous to my spirit, entertained conversations that killed my focus, and exposed myself to things I thought were harmless. Slowly, without noticing, my heart became heavy. My joy reduced. My fire for God started dimming.

Then one day, this verse hit me differently: “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” It was like a mirror. I saw that the frustration I carried, the doubts I battled, and even the decisions I regretted were fruits of what I allowed to sit in my heart. My outside was simply reflecting my inside.

I had to start being intentional. I filtered what I listened to, what I watched, and even who I kept around me. I asked myself daily: “Will this feed my spirit or starve it?” It wasn’t easy, but the more I guarded my heart, the lighter I felt, and the clearer my walk with God became.

💭 Maybe you’ve been careless with your heart too. Maybe you’ve let bitterness, gossip, fear, or comparison creep in. Today is your reminder: your heart is the wellspring of your life. Protect it fiercely. Nurture it with God’s Word. Surround it with the right people.

Because when your heart is right, your life will flow right.

💌 Share this with someone who needs the reminder that protecting their heart is not weakness — it’s wisdom.
