Everything we are, everything we do….everything and anything about us or who we are as a child of God comes and flows from the heart…how we treat others…as to what we say…as to how we act…as to how we have relationships…as to everything and as I said anything…comes from our hearts….the bible says that the heart is deceitful above all, who can know it?..Jeremiah 17:9…and as well it says to us that offenses would come our way, but woe unto them from whom they come..Matthew 18:7..the Lord tells us to guard our hearts for our from them flows the issues of our lives..Proverbs 4:23…and how do we guard our hearts…well we guard it by paying attention to what were doing…and asking the Lord daily to create in us clean and pure hearts and to renew right spirit within us..Psalm 51:10…cause were constantly being pulled by what we see, what we do, what we watch…how were treated…how were loved…everything is a constant act in which effects our heart….we gotta put on Jesus…and daily we put Him on…we put on love, we put on goodness…kindness…self control….we put on temperance…we put on faith…and joy…we put and keep these things on every single day of our lives.Galatians 5:23…and we never take off the armor of God…the word of the Lord says that we are to put on the helmet of salvation, the sword of the spirit, and we are to have our feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace..Ephesians 6:10-18…and were to walk in the spirit and as walking in the spirit of the Lord we will not be minding the things of the flesh..Galatians 5:16…so when obstacles arise…when problems come, than we will not react the way that the world does, but we will react as the Lord would have for us to react….we will run our races filled up with Gods goodness, and Gods mercy and His grace….we won’t be dragged down into others drama and strife…but we will go in the power and in the anointing of the Lord…and we will go shining brightly for Jesus…never to let another dim our light and never to let another dull our shine, cause we are fearfully and wonderfully made,..Psalm 139:14…and God has a magnificent plan for our lives…so always look to Jesus for He is the author and the finisher of your faith..Herbrews 12:2…and as I said let us guard our hearts…and keep our hearts protected…for God looks at the inward so much more than He ever does the outward…so many now days always look to please others in their outward appearance …never to mind that inward…never to care what is actually taking place on the inside…l pray we all  clean up our inward man…and that we please Jesus…and that we would be pure and holy on the inside as much as we try to be pure and holy on the outside…that we let our inward and our outward match up…In Jesus’ name I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen!!
