What things do you hold near and dear in your heart? That is an easy question for me to answer. Certainly my wife, children, and grandchildren have captured my heart, as well as my family and close friends. We have the capacity for so much love and adoration, so there is an abundance of room to hold many people and things there.
But the most special place in our heart should be reserved for God. He should be above all others…. our spouse, our children, our possessions…. everything. Keep away from anything that might take God’s place in your heart. He should always be the number one priority in your life. When he is in the proper place in your life, everything else will fall into alignment and blessings will flow freely for you.
Keep God first and your heart will be full of joy and there will be plenty of room for others!
1 John 5:21 (NLT) - “Dear children, keep away from anything that might take God’s place in your hearts.”
