The Heart

Because we are in a fierce battle (war), guarding the heart is serious business! It's impossible to know what comes next. We need to stand together and protect each other. Fight, love, laugh, cry, and pray together - always in truth! Truth is NOT an old fashioned notion. The full armor of God is of the utmost importance, yet we need each other to cover our backs - our backs are our most vulnerable area! We can not see behind ourselves. (No, as mom's we don't really have eyes in the backs of our heads) God told me along time ago, and the theme keeps coming to mind, to STAND! If you read Ephesians 6:10-20, God tells us to Stand, and after we stand, He tells us to Stand (again). This must be important because He repeats it! We are also told to speak boldly, as we ought to speak, and do everything in love. Sometimes love is tough! It's not just a warm fuzzy feeling. It is a decision that is made consciously. Why I'm writing this? I'm not sure. It was on my heart!
