If you’re over 40 years old, your heart has already beat more than 1.5 billion times. When someone’s heart stops, it will be too late to change his ways. To maintain the health of the heart, many experts advise us to control our weight, get exercise, and watch not only what we eat but also what’s eating us. 

Just like the physical heart, we need to maintain another vital organ called “the heart”—our spiritual heart. It too has throbbed millions of times with thoughts, affections, and choices. In the heart we determine how we will speak, behave, and respond to life’s circumstances (Proverbs 4:23). Will we trust the Lord and choose to be gracious, patient, and loving? Or will we yield to pride, greed, and bitterness?
