Proverbs 423 advises, above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.

This is Max Locato. Think of your heart as a greenhouse and consider your thoughts as seed.

We must be selective about the seeds we allow to come into the greenhouse.

To have a pure heart, we must submit all our thoughts to the

authority of Christ. You see, your mind is the doorway to your heart. The Holy Spirit stands with you

on the threshold, helping you manage and filter the thoughts that try to enter. If Jesus agrees with

the thought, then let it in. If not, kick it out. How do you know

if Jesus agrees or disagrees? You open your Bible. Armed with the opinion of Christ and the

sword of the spirit, guard the doorway of your heart. The more selective you are about seeds,

the more delighted you will be with the crop.
