What is hidden in your heart?

As Christians, we know we must put on God's whole armor. However, as we are wearing this powerful armor, we must make sure love is rooted in our hearts. 

We all know we cannot love people in our own strength, right? That is why the Bible says, "And hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us" (Romans 5:5, NIV).

The Holy Spirit has filled our hearts with the love of God, so now we are able to love everybody. The problem is though, our spirits are aware of this truth, but not necessarily our minds. Therefore, we have to daily remind ourselves of the Word of God and walk in His truth, which states:        

4 Love is patient, 
love is kind.
It does not envy,
it does not boast,
it is not proud. 
5 It does not dishonor others,
it is not self-seeking, 
it is not easily angered, 
it keeps no record of wrongs. 

6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 
7 It always protects,
always trusts,
always hopes,
always perseveres.
8 Love never fails. 
(1 Corinthians 13:4-8, NIV).

Make a decision now not to allow anything, other than love, to live in your heart. Why? Because life flows from your heart. So, if you let unhealthy things live within you, you will be lead down a path of destruction.

"Watch over your heart with all diligence, For from it flow the springs of life" (Proverbs 4:23)
