The heart of all things.

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

Tin Woodman had once been a real man. He had a dream, to build a cottage in the woods for his madien. The wicked witch hated his love and casted spells on him that made his limbs useless and had to be replaced by fake ones made of metals. In the beginning it seemed a great advantage and Tin never felt tired and could work all day. He thought he had beaten the witch. But one day, His axe slip and slice his body into 2. The tinner came to his help, made him a new body. But since then he lost his heart.
" The greatest loss I had known was the loss of my heart, while i was in love I was the happiest man" - Wizard of Oz.

Here is a man once full of love, so real and alive. But after a series of blow his humanity was gone. Though he had never-ending strength, he was sortof a machine- just a hollow man. Beware, the Enemy will come and attack your heart, busyiness, anger, fustration are all his weapons, as he knows that your heart is the wellspring of your life.

It is not conicidence that the heart is address more than any other topic in the bible.

Love the Lord with all your Heart

Where your treasure is, there your Heart will be also

Trust in the Lord with all your Heart

Your word I have treasure in my heart, that i may not sin against you.

All a man's way seem right to him, but the Lord weighs the heart.

A heart the fights
So what is a heart?We have often equate heart as emotions, it is true that heart is the source of emotions, however emotions are not the heart, rather they are voices of the heart. Love, despair, fear are all voices of the heart. Its like saying love is a feeling. We know for sure love is more than a feeling. I wouldnt go after a girl and try so hard to impress her, if it is just a feeling.
Our heart is the place where we face reality and face ourselves. What makes you afraid of the dark, what makes you afraid of roaches, what makes us jump in joy when we see a love one?

Take a moment recall the last time you were happy? Like seeing a sunset. Thats what your heart is. Love is the life of your heart. Without Love we will just be machines.

Fight, fight for your heart. Because without it, it is impossible to draw close to God.

Without your heart, you cannot have love.
Without your heart, you cannot have faith.
Without your heart, you cannot do the this you meant to do.
Without your heart, you cannot have God.
Without your heart, you will not have life.

More than guarding your heart, Fight for it.
