Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. -Proverbs 4:23

Good morning and God bless you! 
I have been really looking at the source of the heart ache in this current crisis we as a nation face and I can say with all conviction that these things are a matter of the heart. 

The heart is the center of our moral consciousness and what takes root in the heart grows and the vines eventually proceed out the mouth. 

Children are born innocent except the sin seed which is the desire and propensity to commit sin. We often capture scenes of children playing together without regard to ethnicity, culture or privilege. The shaping of prejudice has not yet taken root in their heart and therefore the fear of it is not yet present. 

Not only are parents guilty of shaping a child with fear but society in general plays a role. We are constantly bombarded with stereotyping  that are may be no way a part of the upbringing of the individual concerned, but when the person see it as not only norm but expected, they embrace it and rush head on into the identity. 

This is why our hearts must be guarded because corrupt hearts are the source of the issues we see today. 

Our greatest weapon against corrupt hearts is love. Love expresses that liking different things has beauty and certainly value. Loves says we are all created in the image of God and that God loves variety. 

So if needed clean your heart and guard your heart as well as those the Lord has entrusted to your shaping.

And I prayed unto the LORD my God, and made my confession, and said, O Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments;   We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and from thy judgments:                   -Daniel 9:4-5 Good morning and TGIF!    Daniel the prophet offers a vital lesson on humility in these scriptures. He draws a parallel between David’s prayer (Ps 51), where David acknowledges not only his own sins but also the sins of those who came before him. Many people either deny being affected by their ancestors' sins or are quick to highlight the faults of others while conveniently overlooking their own.  In verse 4, Daniel first confesses his own sins, whether they were committed intentionally or unintentionally. Then in verse 5, he acknowledges the s...

  And the king said unto Araunah, Nay; but I will surely buy it of thee at a price: neither will I offer burnt offerings unto the LORD my God of that which doth cost me nothing. So David bought the threshingfloor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver. -2 Samuel 24:24 Good morning and terrific Thursday to you!  The passage referenced tells the story of David trying to halt a plague in Israel—a plague that had come as a result of his own disobedience. To stop it, an act of obedience was required. Following the instructions given through the prophet, David sought a place to offer a sacrifice. He arrived at the threshing floor of Araunah, where the angel had ceased his destruction, intending to build an altar there. Araunah, upon learning of the king’s purpose, generously offered the space and everything needed for the sacrifice at no cost.  However, David declined the offer, as he understood a profound truth that many overlook: the principle of sacrifice is that it must c...

  For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. -John 3:17 Good morning and happy Monday to you!  The Lord Jesus came to this world not to condemn us, but to show us what true righteousness is. His mission had multiple purposes, and I will highlight two of them. First, we needed an example of righteousness—someone conceived without sin and who lived a sinless life. Next, because of His immaculate conception and sinless existence, He was qualified to be sacrificed. This requirement was too great for sinful man to fulfill. The grace it took for Him to come into this world and to die for it is truly amazing. #prayforthepeaceofIsrael God bless you and command your day!!! Your comments and questions are welcome.
