ABOVE ALL THINGS GUARD YOUR HEART

Hello again. Sorry we have not written in a long time. My excuse as always is time. But really is just an excuse, because we can always set aside time for everything. We just got back from Orlando where we attended a conference that is held every two years called "Spiritual Growth Workshop". It was a great time of fellowship with brothers and sisters from long ago as well as new ones.

We went to The Holy Land Experience. A theme park that teaches about Christ and the God's plan to redeem humanity. With life size recreations of the tabernacle, the temple and other Jerusalem sites, shows and dramas, movies, and meuseum like displays of how the scripture was put together through the ages and preached to different kinds of audiences.

Days before the conference as we were sitting down in the living room, Isabella our daughter told Mari and I "You know I think if we start puting things in our heart, Jesus will not have room to be in it". This was very deep coming from a seven year old. But she was right. Proverbs 4:23 says "Above all things guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of Life".

We should always make time to meditate on the word of God. Read and study. Pray and spent some time apart with God. Otherwise is easy to fill up with things that might put Him out of our lives. We made time thank God for the workshop, but it is not enough to eat just once a day or in this case once every two years.

Take time right know to reflect on how you spend your time, and if your heart is guarded by the word of God. Because He is the source of everything and all that is, and in Him, we are safe.
