How is your heart?

How is your heart today?  What do you hold within it?  Is your heart focused on love, hatred, bitterness, compassion, truthfulness, deceit, melancholy, envy, or giving?  The motives of your heart will be revealed in your daily actions.  I urge you to put aside, remove from your heart, those things which are negative.  Focusing on the positive is a sure way to make the most of your day. 

I have a friend who uses the term "love fiercely".  I love her terminology because it describes how Christ loved us.  Fiercely He loved us, Fiercely He died for us, and Fiercely He will return for us.  Are you ready?  Live each day loving fiercely those who are worthy of your love.  Pray for those who are not but do not hate them.

As you focus on your motherly and wifely duties today, accomplish every task as if the completion of that task will be the very thing that makes your entire family happy.  Do your tasks as unto the Lord.  Focus to have a clean house, clean heart, and clear head by the time you lay down this evening.

Phillippians 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me."
