How's your heart today?

Dear Young champions,

I'm pretty sure all of you schoolers are in your mid terms. If not, a 2 -week holiday and you're probably reading this at some sun-baked island on a nice little comfy chaise.

So, how's your heart today? a weird question to greet someone with huh? But do you know our hearts, (not the coronary!) play a core role in our being? It affects the way we feel, the way we speak, the way we react, and the way we respond to God. Throughout the Bible, almost every character that you would have come across with, God never ceased to to address the heart, if you were to type heart on biblegateway's keyword search, you'd see throughout sciptures, from Genesis to Revelation, that the HEART was mentioned.

Do you know that till today, God still talks about the heart? In fact, the HEART's the first thing that He checks with a person. That makes you and I!

“Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.” (1 Sam 16:7)

Do you also know that the way you behave reflects the state of your heart? Especially the way we respond with our word.

For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.(Matthew 12:34)

Sometimes it may even make us feel things that aren't true to what's really going on with us or even lie to us. It's out of control. There are times when we just don't understand what's going on. Anybody know what I'm talking about?

The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?(Jer17:9)

But God knows it perfectly well. He has given us His Holy Spirit to help us through every kind of heart-matter.






"And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit" (Rom 8:27)

I pray today, that you'll give your hearts to Him. You and I can't manage it on our own. but God's peace can.

"And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus" (Phillipians 4:7)

Above all, remember that your heart plays a very important role in loving God. And that's a massive deal we're talking about! God! So take good care of it with God's peace.

young person,
We love and Believe in you!
YAT!
