Keep vigilant watch over your heart; that's where life starts.
Proverbs4:23
When I was single, I interpreted this verse as being careful about which guys to give my heart to.
The other day, the picture that popped into my head was of Jesus holding my physical heart very gently with both of His hands. He was reminding me that he holds my heart very gently. Being vigilant is about taking my hurt or hardness to Jesus and allowing him to deal with it (or to guide me in the next step). He is the one who is the Real Protector of my heart; my way of protecting it is not actually protecting it, instead it causes my heart to become fashioned after me! When I work to protect it, I put up fortresses around it so that certain feelings don't have to be felt or dealt with, and that does not yield a pretty harvest!
