What are you protecting above all else? Yesterday at Element we talked about character. One of our Elementers came up to me after 2nd service and shared something that I thought was GREAT. I don’t have permission to use their name, so I won’t. They said that in counseling they learned this: “You protect that which you love most.” What are you protecting? What are you guarding?
Is there a sin you are keeping from someone?…a weakness your not letting anyone know about?…a mistake in your past that you want to keep quiet?…an old habit or guilty pleasure that no one knows about?…If so, THAT is what you love most!
Proverbs 4:23 says “Guard your heart above all else,for it determines the course of your life.”
3 John v. 12 says “Everyone speaks highly of Demetrius, AS DOES the truth itself.”
WOW! What does the truth speak about me? What do I love most? Are there any issues in my life that I am protecting because I love them.
ABOVE ALL ELSE, guard your heart! May the truth speak highly of us.
Following Christ,
Jeff
