We need to watch our heart-life, for it is in our thoughts, feelings, moods, tempers, and affections that departure from Christ begins.
We need to watch our inner spiritual state. The world may see no limit to our zeal, our religious activity, our earnest promoting of the truth and yet there may be not enough prayerfulness, love for Christ, tenderness of conscience, hunger for righteousness, or desire for holiness in our heart.
Is Christ more to you now, than He ever was before? Does His love draw you with an overwhelming sway? Can you say, with Zinzendorf, "I have only one passion, and that is Jesus!"
Is your heart right?

Proverbs 23:26 … My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways.
Proverbs 4:23 … Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.❤
