Guarding our hearts in godly fear is essential for maintaining a healthy relationship with God and others and for maintaining our own spiritual health. It means being intentional about what we allow into our hearts. It involves choosing to focus on thoughts and influences that promote love, kindness, and compassion. It means seeking God’s wisdom and guidance through prayer and meditation and allowing His love to flow through us to others. When we exercise discernment (https://www.gotquestions.org/spiritual-discernment.html) and guard our hearts, we experience the joy and blessings that come from living in community with other believers, and we become more
effective in sharing God’s love and truth with the world.
