Still Small Voice – Guard Your Heart

My dear praying friends: “ Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.” Proverbs 4:23 NIV “Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Matthew 5:21 Recently, on a Sunday afternoon drive, we stopped to walk on a beach even tho the spring wind blew cool. Looking down, I just happened to see this small stone shining in the sunlight. (see photo above) It spoke to me, and I picked it up!  I hope it speaks to you, too!

People of faith believe that the only hope is the coming of the Prince of Peace, The Messiah. Download Jay Rawlings’ Jerusalem Vistas Spring Newsletter here.
