People tell me I have a beautiful heart. They should only know. The Bible says the heart is deceitfully wicked. God knows. The beautiful heart people see in me is the heart God gave me. I had a broken heart. God gave me a new one.

When I don’t take good care of my new heart, it can end up broken all over again. The Bible teaches me to guard my heart so it doesn’t get filled up with wickedness again. When I find I have not guarded my heart and I see all that old junk back in there again, I get rid of it.
God didn’t give me a new heart to live my old way of living. He gave me a new one so I can live like His daughter who lives to glorify His name.
Sometimes my heart gets broken by the world again. Then I lay my heart in God’s hands and let Him heal and comfort me.
When people see my beautiful heart, I get to tell them how I got it and how I take care of it. I got it from God, and He helps me keep it beautiful so the world won’t just see my beautiful heart. The world will get to see where my heart came from. The world will get to see Him. Everything good and beautiful people see in me is from Him.
Moreover, I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. Ezekiel 36:26 NASB
Watch over your heart with all diligence, For from it flow the springs of life. Proverbs 4:23 NASB
Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow. James 1:17 NASB
The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? Jeremiah 17:9 KJV

So funcy to see the article within this blog. Thank you for posting it
Rattling good information can be found on site .
In this great pattern of things you actually secure a B+ with regard to hard work. Where exactly you lost me was first in your specifics. You know, people say, details make or break the argument.. And that couldn’t be much more true right here. Having said that, let me reveal to you precisely what did give good results. Your writing is actually highly powerful and that is probably the reason why I am taking the effort in order to comment. I do not really make it a regular habit of doing that. Second, even though I can see a leaps in reasoning you come up with, I am not necessarily confident of exactly how you seem to unite the points which produce the actual final result. For now I will, no doubt subscribe to your issue but hope in the near future you connect the dots better.
