When times in life do get hard, our heart and mind we must guard, <br />For trials can and sometimes will, cause one’s heart to not be still, <br />Moved by what someone might say, we could lean the wrong way, <br />As the devil attempts to hinder us, from fully trusting Christ Jesus. <br /> <br />Satan does at times use another, Christian Sister and or a Brother, <br />With a thoughtless word or two, in his attempt to hurt me and you, <br />So we need to be ever on alert, as all Believers Satan tries to hurt, <br />To deter the very cause of Christ, in each and every Believer’s life. <br /> <br />The Word of God tells all of us, to guard our heart in Christ Jesus, <br />Paul’s admonition that we read, which as Believers, we must heed, <br />As thoughtless words will be said, we can be like our Lord instead, <br />In the very spirit of our Savior, responding with Christ like behavior. <br /> <br />Of Satan, we all must be aware, as he desires to see tempers flare, <br />Stirring our emotions deep within, Satan wants us to respond in sin, <br />And so we need to guard our hearts, against the enemy’s evil darts, <br />For even the purest heart can be, a target for God’s archest enemy. <br /> <br />Guarding our hearts is truly a must, while in God we place our trust. <br />Living a life, which truly pleases, God above, through Christ Jesus, <br />To truly live at peace with all men, when in Christ we are born again, <br />To be a witness to God’s Salvation, to every man and every nation. <br /> <br />(Copyright ©09/2010)<br /><br />Bob Gotti<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/guard-your-heart/
