Rules of the Heart

It is so very small and yet plays such a major role As upon you it will call in the leading of your soul It can be so very kind in the leading of your way But you may also find that this heart can astray It's mind is of your own so do not allow it to drift As it has always shown it's willingness to create a rift So nourish it each day in surrounding it with prayer In living His Way the heart will soon follow you there So you need to set some rules things learned over the years Using life's lessons as tools as new boundaries they will sear Know what you can and cannot do and learn to stay away Follow the things that keep you true as you go about your stay But you can't do it alone as I am sure you have certainly tried You'll need the Light shone in the knowing of why Jesus died Only He in the Spirit can lead you in so revealing His plan And your heart will know it's true even though you can't understand

Vincent- I really enjoyed this verse. Sometimes is takes a while to learn that we must "follow the things that keep us true..." but what a gift when we do-it changes everything. Thank you for this gift today.
