As a parent of an 8 and 13-year old, I know my most important job is to guard their hearts. The heart is so important, and the enemy and the world want to destroy it with fear, lies, and tempting experiences. Inappropriate relationships, unhealthy friends, and dysfunctional home environments can all do incredible damage to the heart. My job as a parent (and my job in my own life with my own heart) is to protect, guard, and pay close attention to my children’s hearts. God loves you and the heart that he has placed in you. When protected, your heart is ready to flow out with gifts, talents, abilities, joy, and love. Are you keeping your heart safe?
"Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it."
Proverbs 4:23
