Caring for your heart is also how you protect your relationship with God... [The heart] is where we commune with him. It is where we hear his voice. Most of the folks I know who have never heard God speak to them are the same folks who live far from their hearts.

The most dangerous man on earth is the man who has reckoned with his own death. All men die few men ever really live.
John Eldredge
Image
Every boy, in his journey to become a man, takes an arrow in the center of his heart, in the place of his strength. Because the wound is rarely discussed and even more rarely healed, every man carries a wound. And the wound is nearly always given by his father.

Security is not found in the absence of danger, but in the presence of Jesus.
