Have you been tested so badly that it cracks your heart? 😔😣 I never realized the connection between guarding our hearts because of how tender they are. 🤯 God wants us to have a soft, tender heart. Think about it, why would He ask us to guard it if it were already hardened? 💔 … wow. That’s not the condition God desires for us. A tender heart is a surrendered heart that is open to His voice and responsive to His leading. That’s exactly why He calls us to guard it. ❤️‍🩹 So yes, guard your heart… BUT also put on the full armor of Christ. Your heart and mind are a battlefield. You must stand ready. 🛡️ Are you facing a cycle of old wounds? Hardship? Tension? Anger? Heartache? Feeling blindsided? I understand! 😮‍💨 👇🏻 But PLEASE guard your heart and keep it tender, because a tender heart is not a weak heart. It’s a heart ready for battle, yet fully surrendered, fully shielded, and fully covered by His promises. He is faithful! He’s got you!❤️‍🔥 Proverbs 4:23 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.
