Guard Your Heart…

Your most prized possession could be the most vulnerable

The most guarded could be the most insecure

The most protected could be the most unsafe

Pointing to the need and importance of security

The question here is what is most precious to you?

Is it the material things you stay glued to?

Or those around you think you can’t do without?

You have to look within to find out

It’s never glaring all through life

But out of it flows the issues of life

Ever felt jaded and frustrated?

Encouraged and motivated?

These are streams that originate from this vulnerable ocean

Still wondering what this is?

What is this that requires so much attention?

Hold still a minute…

With your right hand married to the left side of your chest

Feel and listen to its beat

Blood and life flows from it

Your heart, the seat of feelings and intuitions

The jury that makes the decision

Whatever you will be on the outside starts from the inside

The bones, ribs, muscles are not enough protection

They cannot stop the waves of attack against it

These enemies, not only stronger but are subtle than any other

What then is the way out?

Build a wall of will around your heart to defend it

Arm your soldiers with knowledge to fight back

Make sure God is on your side

Do all you can to guard your heart

It is your most prized possession

If you lose it, you have lost life and its essence

Protect it with all you’ve got

A lot of enemies is what it’s got

Guard your heart with all diligence

‘cos out of it flows the issues of life
