February is heart health month. During this month you can find helpful information about how to have a healthy heart, or about warning signs when something is wrong with your heart. It is all about the well-being of your physical heart.
February is also the month of Valentine’s Day. A day set aside to show love to your significant other and others you love in a special way. Usually we adorn each other with chocolates and roses. Valentine’s Day is one of the most celebrated and lucrative holidays that we engage in.
What about your spiritual heart? Is it healthy, do you know the warning signs that something may be going wrong with it? Do you have the information on how to keep it healthy? Or have the arteries of life circumstances caused plaque to build up and the flow of love and joy are having a hard time reaching your heart to keep it healthy?
Have you been exercising your heart muscles by showing love to keep your heart strong and in a position to receive love? Your spiritual heart is just as important as your physical heart. It warrants your every effort to make sure that nothing foreign comes in to make your heart beat irregularly or cause damage.
We place things in our heart from experiences that we have encountered in our lifetime. Some things are good, others are bad, but God wants us to make sure that what we put in our hearts are things that will help us live life to its fullest. Good things that will catapult us into a relationship with Him and others. When we have experienced something that was not good and we place it in our hearts, it stays there until we release it. As long as it stays there the more miserable you may become. You will live your life not fully being free to love or receive love.
That’s why God said in His word: Proverbs 4: 23 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. NIV
The good news today is that God can help you release the bad things that you have placed in your heart. The things that will keep you from experiencing a true flow of love and joy, but you have to give God all the pieces of your brokenness. He will replace those things with wisdom and love. Trust Him, I do!
