Psalm 139:23-24 Search me O God and know my heart, try me and know my thoughts, and see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

Deuteronomy 6:5 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.

According to the Bible, the heart is the center of spiritual activity and all the operations of human life. It is the core of our being and “the wellspring of life.” (Proverbs 4:23) From the heart comes grief, desires, joy, understanding, thoughts and reasoning, faith and belief. Choices and decisions flow out of what is in your heart. It should be guarded (Proverbs 4:23) for as the water reflects the face, so one’s life reflects the heart. (Proverbs 27:19)

This month, February, my theme will be about The Heart. As I’ve written in earlier posts, the heart yearns for unconditional love of which can only be provided by God. It is then strengthened by His presence there and consumed with reverence and godly fear.

1 John 4:19 We love because God first loved us.

Love God with all your heart, soul, and might. That is:

• With sincere love, not in word and tongue only, but inwardly in truth

May this love of God be shed abroad in our hearts (Romans 5:8)
