Repentance
Psalm 51:10 “Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a loyal spirit within me.”
God has been teaching us about the importance of the heart and showing us why we have to guard our hearts. Two things are important to have a spiritually healthy heart—eat right and exercise. For food, we are to feed on the undiluted powerful Word of God. Read the rest of this entry
Heart To Heart
Acts 13:22 “But God removed Saul and replaced him with David, a man about whom God said, ‘I have found David son of Jesse, a man after my own heart. He will do everything I want him to do.”
We will be picking up from where we left off yesterday. You should forgive whether people apologize to you or not. However, the person may never be able to have a relationship with you again. Forgiveness is one thing, but relationship is another thing. Read the rest of this entry

Matthew 6:14-15 “If you forgive those who sin against you, your heavenly Father will forgive you. But if you refuse to forgive others, your Father will not forgive your sins.”

1 John 1:9 “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” (NKJV)

Workout
1 Samuel 16:23 “After that, whenever the bad depression from God tormented Saul, David got out his harp and played. That would calm Saul down, and he would feel better as the moodiness lifted.” (MSG).
The third exercise for a spiritually healthy heart is The Exercise of Recreation. There is a huge difference between amusement and recreation. We often go to amusement parks to amuse ourselves; it is purely for amusement. Read the rest of this entry
Rest & Reflect
Psalm 127:2 “It is senseless for you to work so hard from early morning until late at night, fearing you will starve to death; for God wants his loved ones to get their proper rest.” (LB)
One of the quickest ways to lose perspective is to keep going without proper rest. One week without sleep and most people will be incoherent and disillusioned. Not because they are bad people but because they just need to rest. Read the rest of this entry
Rest
1 Kings 19:1-3 “When Ahab got home, he told Jezebel everything Elijah had done… So Jezebel sent this message to Elijah: “May the gods strike me and even kill me if by this time tomorrow I have not killed you just as you killed them.” Elijah was afraid and fled for his life…”
The first spiritual exercise for a healthy heart is The Exercise of Rest. 1 Kings 19:4 “Then he went on alone into the wilderness, traveling all day. He sat down under a solitary broom tree and prayed that he might die.

Above All
Proverbs 4:23 “Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.” (emphasis added)
Your heart is under constant attack, and it is all about your faith which is rooted in your heart. So, I pray for you that every heart attack of disappointment, discouragement, and disillusionment will come to nothing in your life in Jesus Name. Read the rest of this entry
Priority Heart
Proverbs 4:23 “Keep your heart with all diligence, For out of it spring the issues of life.” (NKJV, emphasis added).
We will continue with our final thought from yesterday, which is that you do not need anyone to say sorry to you first before you forgive them. Just forgive and move on because some people, for example, some African parents, will never say sorry. Read the rest of this entry
