Guarding the Heart
"Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life."Proverbs 4:23
Reflection
Not every person deserves access to your whole heart. Being careful about who comes in is not coldness, it is wisdom.
Prayer
God, help me guard my heart well. Amen!
Talk about it as a family
- Why should we guard our heart?
- Who can we trust with our secrets?
- Is being careful the same as being cold?
5-minute activity
Draw a heart with a little gate. Around it, write the names of trusted people who can come in. Talk about choosing wisely who we let close. Read Proverbs 4:23.
