And in all the exhortations we have missed the important thing of all. We have missed the heart of woman.
And that is not a wise thing to do, for as the scriptures tell us, the heart is central.
"Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life" (Proverbs 4:23)
Above all else.
Why?
Because God knows that our heart is core to who we are. It is the source of all our creativity, our courage, and our convictions. It is the fountainhead of our faith, our hope, and of course, our love. This "wellspring of life" within us is the very essence of our existence, the center of our being. Your heart as a woman is the most important thing about you.
(The Heart of Woman, John & Stasi Eldrege)
I am so blessed with this book and I could not resist posting this passage as much as I want to remind myself of guarding my heart.
