SouthernT Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 What does it really mean to "Guard Your Heart" and to what extent should a man and/or woman go to in order to guard their hearts? How do you do this and start a healthy relationship on the right foot at the same time? Link to post Share on other sites
Dark-N-Romantic Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Guarding one's heart means to be wise about what you are doing with yourself. This means you knowing your strengths and weaknesses and the tolerances of both. If you know you have a problem with lust, be warned when you may be put into that situation that will cause you to lust. If you are a person with anger issues, know the signs when you are walking in anger and try to avoid it. Guarding one's heart also means to be warned of the temptations that are out there. Beware of the ways of the flesh and the devil. And know when he is attempting to get at you. We are to be vigilant constantly, unless we fall into the traps of the deceiver. That roaring lion who seeks to devour us. How does it work with relationships? Simple, we need to be open and honest about things. We are suppose to look after others and do right by them. At the same time we need to beware that not everyone is going to do the right thing to us all the time. We are going to be tempted and tried. We are to guard ourselves from thinking and thus committing harm to others. DNR I hope that makes sense. Link to post Share on other sites
Lovelybird Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 I think "guard your heart" eventually is about "own soul and own belief" If I don't believe I deserve a good man deep down (some people maybe even think they do, but deep down they bury this wrong belief about themself), then I am automatically going to find a man who won't treat me right. If a person has this belief, no matter how hard she/he trys to guard heart, she/he still is going to fall for that man who won't treat her/him right. First thing first, heal our soul and heart, put right belief into our heart. And pray, pray God to give us desires of our heart, ask God for His opinions about men. Life, including our love life, will prosper as our soul prosper Link to post Share on other sites
