In these tumultuous times we must guard our hearts. We cannot allow heated political differences, financial crises or hard times to turn us into angry or bitter people. We are called to love not only those who love us but also our enemies. Determine that with God’s help you are going to respond in the Spirit of Christ, no matter what others do. Never allow anyone or any situation to make you into someone you are not.

“Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.”

— Proverbs 4:23

Lord Jesus, give me a pure heart and a right spirit no matter what others may do. In Your holy name I pray. Amen.
