Scripture of the Day:

Proverbs 4:23: Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life. (NLT)

Proverbs 20:9: Who can say, "I have cleansed my heart; I am pure and free from sin?

The biggest "cheat code" to a better heart is to first recognize that we do not have the power to clean our sin sick heart, and then guard our hearts from damaging things entering into it. The things that enter our heart will inevitably determine the course of our lives.

About the time his money ran out, a great famine swept over the land, and he began to starve. He persuaded a local farmer to hire him, and the man sent him into his fields to feed the pigs. The young man became so hungry that even the pods he was feeding the pigs looked good to him. But no one gave him anything. “When he finally came to his senses, he said to himself. (NLT)

Scripture of the Day:

Luke 15:25-32: Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing. And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant. And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound. And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and intreated him. And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends: And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine. It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.
