"Above all else, guard your heart,
for it is the wellspring of life. Proverbs 4:23

guard your heart, not because it's a prisoner, but because as the source of life, it's to be protected. proverbs says it's a "wellspring," a fountain or the source of a stream. water flows from a wellspring, giving life to all who drink from it. however, a polluted wellspring literally kills. one of the biggest and life-costing problems in the third world is contaminated water sources.

guard your heart from pollution. keep its water as pure as the snow it melted from. tend to the stream, removing branches and trash to keep it flowing smoothly. guard it with love and pride, as a dog guards his master's children.

however, don't build artificial barriers around it. streams need to pick its own route. they have a mind of their own -- they know where they're suppose to go. this freedom is especially important in the spring, as the ice and snow melts and swells the stream over its banks, which waters plants when they need the water the most. don't build walls around the stream -- deer and other wildlife need to drink from it to keep from thirst."
