There is nothing worse than the pain that comes from matters of the heart. That is why Proverbs 4:23 says:
Proverbs 4:23
GOD’S WORD Translation (GW)
23 Guard your heart more than anything else,
because the source of your life flows from it.
It is said that when people have heart transplants, they like the things that the person who donated that heart did. It’s called cellular memory. Shows you how powerful the heart is.
God knew what he was talking about. This is why people who love each other can end up burning each others clothing up and putting each other in the hospital (I knew a couple who did just that). When someone get’s into your heart, and things don’t go right, it can get real ugly quick.
I have put a lock on my heart and JESUS has the key! And he will give the key to the right man.
Song of Solomon 8:4
GOD’S WORD Translation (GW)
4 Young women of Jerusalem, swear to me
that you will not awaken love
or arouse love before its proper time!
