Guard your heart… we hear that said often and usually referring to courtship or lovelife and protecting yourself from a relationship that might not be beneficial for you.
Recently, I just came back from a blessed trip back home to Ontario. It was such a blessing seeing my family, which consists of my parents, sisters, brother in law, my nieces, brothers and sisters in the community, and one of my best friends. Not only that, I was able to see my GG, Norelle Rose Cuevas.
Praise God for all the joy, laughter, relaxation and time spent together with people I dearly loved. The challenge was, since I was in the comfort of my own home and province, there were so many times where I was tempted to let my guard down and not protect it from the evil one.
It can be hard at times especially when we get distracted from things that we might think bring us happiness, especially as a missionary. I was reminded during this trip that if we believe in Jesus and what He says, then we must give our whole heart to Him. No excuses. And not only we should give our whole life to Him but also ask His help to protect our heart so that it may be focused on His.
Ask to protect our heart so that it may be focused on His. Guarding our hearts should not only be towards courtship and lovelife, but also towards the evil one.
the question is, “What should I protect / guard my heart from?”
Lord Jesus, I asked through the intercession Mother Mary, to protect and guard our hearts from the things that bring us farther away from you, whatever it may be. Amen.
The rephrasing of that question came at the perfect time! West Sector is holding our 100% Free Conference tomorrow- will definitely place this somewhere there! đŸ™‚ GB!
