THE UNBOUND HEART

I cannot permit my heart to have open borders since free ranging exposes it to too many perils. An unguarded heart will consume unhealthy nourishment and stray into mortal danger. It is really simple, garbage in garbage out, treasure in treasure out. Like the physical body, my inward man must be nourished, protected and cultivated for it to stay healthy. My heart must be guarded since everything I do outwardly flows from the abundance of what is within. Shepherd of my Soul, help me stay in Your shadow, keep me safely in Your care. Help me feed from Your pastures and drink from Your still waters. Only under your guardianship may I truly run free.
