Hello Sisters!

No matter how beautiful or shapely or physically fit you are on the outside -- it's meaningless if you are ugly inside. That may seem a bit blunt, but we must look at what's really important -- and what's really important is having the heart of God. We do that by being transformed by the renewing of our minds. Our goal is to become the woman God wants us to be!

What is the condition of your heart?

Do you harbor grudges? Do you hate someone? Are you prejudiced? Are you bitter? Does your heart need some transforming?
If you are human, the answer is -- YES!
Remember, we're forgiven -- not perfect!

Guiding Scripture...

Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
Romans 12:2

February's Scripture

"Above all else, guard your heart,
for it is the wellspring of life."
(Proverbs 4:23)

Write this scripture down and post it in a frequented area so it will become a part of your mind, your heart, and your soul.

I love this month's scripture.

"Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life."

Throughout the Bible, especially in the Old Testament, are references to wells. Humanitarian agencies like Samaritan's Purse dig wells for people in impoverished countries. Why? Because wells have water -- and water is essential for life. There are two kinds of wells. Wells that collect rain water can run dry but wells that are fed by a living spring never run dry. The wellspring of life is a source that never runs dry -- and Solomon says that wellspring is your heart!! This is so important that we are told to GUARD our hearts!

How do you guard your heart? By adopting the heart of God!
How do you do that? By daily renewing your mind!!

The Bible tells us clearly how to have a spiritually healthy heart. Two of my favorite books are Galatians and Ephesians. Paul tells us point-blank what's healthy and what's damaging.

This month, make an effort to recognize when your heart
is not aligned with the heart of God.
This month, spend a lot of time reading Galatians and Ephesians
learning how to have a spiritually-healthy heart.
This month, be guided by this scripture:
"Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life!"

PRAYER
Open our hearts to Your wellspring of love.
Fill our hearts with Your life-changing,
life-renewing water of Life.
Give us strength to guard our hearts.
Align our hearts with Your heart!
Thank you for Jesus, the Living Water
that give us eternal life!
AMEN!
