When it’s rather cold outside, and your creature comfort is denied, <br />You can put on your outer wear; this to oppose that chilly frigid air. <br />The cold elements you have denied, but how are you deep inside? <br />I’m not talking the temperature, but what is your heart’s character. <br /> <br />Hot and cold are emotions too; so what do people say about you? <br />Are you at times cold and tough, while showing others little love? <br />Or are you warm in any place, always ready with a warm embrace. <br />Friend do you simply play the part, or are you truly sincere in heart? <br /> <br />My friend in life it is your heart, that in all we do, has a crucial part. <br />All that you are is stored inside, and nothing from God can you hide. <br />Men look at the outer man, not seeing what the heart has planned. <br />But the heart is what God looks to, when gauging all we say and do. <br /> <br />So deceptive our hearts can be, that evil it ponders men don’t see. <br />Though it may be deceptive friend, God knows its path and its end. <br />All the evil that is stored within, can lead your heart and mind to sin. <br />Fill your heart with Jesus Christ, and He’ll purify your mind and life. <br /> <br />In the morning before you start, friend, take a look within your heart. <br />Ask The Lord to search within, and cleanse you to be more like Him. <br />Reflect upon what’s deep inside; request for change won’t be denied. <br />Then outside when it is bitter cold, the warmth in you men will behold. <br /> <br />(Copyright ©12/2005)<br /><br />Bob Gotti<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/how-s-your-heart/
