While some say, "follow your heart", the Bible cautions us that the heart can be deceitful, hard and sick! Our hearts need God's healing and transforming work - and we need to guard our hearts from becoming hardened, wounded or dirtied. Wewould be wise to:

-Reflect on our heart's condition to see if there are areas that need God's restoring or transforming work.

-Surrender our heart to God and ask Him to soften it.

-Seek God's guidance and renewal daily.

-Guard our heart - everything we do flows from it.

-Seek encouragement from others to stay faithful.
