If I were to hand you a fragile, newborn baby girl, I know that you would protect her with your life. Your arms would be strong, your feet sure, and your eyes ever watchful. Be careful, my trusted one! for I have placed something just as precious and delicate with in you. It is your heart...your very life! Treasure it. Protect it. Watch over it with all your strength. For the world and all its pleasures are like kidnappers who will stop at nothing to steal your heart away from ME and destroy it. I want what is best for you, my treasured one, and although you sometimes feel that the sinful pleasure of this world don't seem harmful, they will separate you from Me. Just as a newborn is helpless without loving care, you also will suffer if your heart is taken from Me. So I'm asking you to guard your heart and cling to Me, the source of you life.
Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life. Proverbs 4:23
