"Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life."
Proverbs 4:23

Our thoughts are the products and proofs of our character. But they are
infinitely more than that. They are the very materials out of which our
character, lives, and destinies are built. Evil thoughts mar and
destroy; good thoughts build up, elevate and refine. What we shall
become in the future is based on what we think today. For what we think
today provides the basis from which all our words and actions spring.

As Christ rules in our hearts, His radiance beautifies our thoughts. He
enables us to lift our thoughts above all that is sordid and sinful and
to keep them steadily in the presence of God. Paul had this in mind when
he said, "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever
things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are
pure, whatsover things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report;
if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these
things" (Philippians 4:8).This is the peace that Christ earned for us by
His death on the cross and that enters our hearts by faith in Him.

God knows the rhythm of our spirit and our hearts thoughts ~ He is as
close as our breath. God Bless You.
