A familiar companion to all of us, who live in this world is their own personal conscience. It goes will us no matter where we go or what we do or how we actions, our outlook on life, our relationships with others and who we really are inside.
When it comes to right or wrong, our conscious should cut to the “heart” of any concern in our personal makeup, right or wrong. When it comes to who we really are deep down, the question needs to be asked, “What’s in our hearts?” In essence, what controls our thoughts, our emotions, or viewpoints, our makeup, our “person?”
Who are we really? What’s in our hearts? Do we have a wise heart? Are our heart’s receptive to good values and do we live these values in our daily lives?
There are many catchphrases about the heart. Like, “put your whole heart into it” and, “have heartfelt feelings” and, “wearing your heart on your sleeve” and many more.
Edward Blumer-Liston said, “That a good heart is better than all the heads in the world.”
Tanya A. Moore said, “A person’s world is only as big as their heart.”
The Bible also gives us quotes about the heart. Romans 10:10 says, “For with the heart on believes unto righteousness and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” Galatians 6:9 says, “And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we donor lose heart.”
On the flip side to what the heart holds and God is not mocked; He knows us better than we know and we need to be careful what we allow into our hearts (Galatians 6:7, Psalm 139:1-4).
As time continues for those of us who really care what God thinks about us, we need to be conscious clear,” carefully preparing what’s in our hearts, clarifying where our treasure is, and beseeching our God to put in us a clean heart worthy of His blessings and protection.
