W.o.G. Wednesday: Proverbs 4:23

Proverbs 4:23 (NLT)
Guard your heart above all else,

for it determines the course of your life.

I highly highly recommend visiting a blog I just found tonight called "Building the Blocks". The author, Amy, wrote an incredible post about perspective and guarding where your heart places its treasure. And, she is generously letting me re-post her words below:

Do you ever get tired of trying to prove yourself to the world?

Prove you are:

• Pretty enough
• Rich enough
• Strong enough
• Worthy enough
• Skinny enough
• Smart enough
• Creative enough
• Popular enough
• Good enough
• ENOUGH.

Can I just tell you something?

• Your diplomas, degrees, and credentials don’t make a difference.
• How popular your kids are don’t make a difference.
• The square footage of your house doesn’t make a difference.
• Your jean size doesn’t make a difference.
• Your pedicures, massages and French manicures don’t make a difference.
• Your designer labels don’t make a difference.
• How clean your house is doesn’t make a difference.
• The size of your diamond doesn’t make a difference.
• Your past failures don’t make a difference.
• Your bank account doesn’t make a difference.
• Paying $120 to have your hair done doesn't make a difference.
• Others approving of your life doesn't make a difference.

Your
HEART
will be
what makes
the difference.
