Proverbs 4:23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.
Mothers laid our heads on their hearts, breasts, or some say bosoms. These areas form the core or center of our emotional being. If the heart nurtures us, we sometimes develop healthy dispositions and positive attributes that help us overcome the issues that continuously confront us as we walk or run through this life. Mothers should not keep their hearts from babies who need to feel the innermost feelings of love and protection.
But, a mother’s love is different from the love a woman feels for a man. Keeping thy heart or holding onto oneself is not what makes the world go around. The world is dynamic and graceful diligence is hard to maintain when matters of the heart steer us in the direction of desire.
Relationships are born and dissolved each day as we come to the realization that the issues of life are real and a wrong choice causes much ado.
Issues of life stem from consequences or results and are what life is all about, but some issues we allow to happen or cause because of disobedience and lack of attention to subtle nuisances.
We play with fire and falsely tell ourselves we won’t get burned because we know just how far to go, but we deceive ourselves, and our lack of attention to that little voice of truthfulness sets us up for failure.
The desires of the flesh are substantial and require much genuflection for what comes naturally. There is no easy out as we prayerfully make our way through mazes of temptations painstakingly designed to prevent us from receiving blessings only God can pour upon us.
I believe there is someone for everyone, although there appears to be a shortage of eligible contestants. Matters of the heart derail us into thinking we must help God out. God is faithful and needs no help from nature’s born in sin. We should wait, instead of selecting choices that derail us from the track, which leads to the fulfillment of our heart’s desires.
