Proverbs 14

"A sound heart is life to the body,

but envy is rottenness to the bones."

There are so many things in this life that can break down the wall around our hearts. Stress. Broken relationships. Unloved. Busyness. No time. Tired. Empty. Lost. Hurtful words. Worries. Burdens. The list is endless and it can grow longer as we journey on through life. But there is a way to find life. 


To find life, one must have a sound heart. It means being content. There is a contentment that is called godly contentment; and godly contentment comes with great gain (1 Tim 6:6). Knowing God, having Him to rely on, and being close to Him is all we need in life. Because He will provide for us, take care of us and lead us home. Why envy things of the world? Why wish for materialistics? Why follow worldly trends? The things of this world are only temporary hence they will pass. 


You will always have your heart with you. The organ that pumps life through your body and is a part of your soul and spirit. Each of us have one. What is your heart's desire?  

Proverbs 13

"Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
but a desire fulfilled is a tree of life."

I know when I say things, I must be ready to fulfill them; to take responsibility and to rely on God. I don't like it when people say things carelessly and never get around to doing it. It may be a habit. It may be out of politeness.  But I hope I can hold fast to my own principles because I know I get sick and tired waiting for something to happen. On the other hand, when a desire is fulfilled it makes me happy, satisfied and content.
