Throw on some headphones, take a breath, close your eyes, and enjoy today’s meditative spoken word track based on Proverbs 4:23, which says, “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.”
Lyrics:
Above all else guard your heart.
Not with walls of fear, but with boundaries of grace.
Your heart is holy ground. A garden. A wellspring.
The place where heaven whispers and your life responds.
Everything you do flows from here — your energy, your empathy, your yes, your creativity, your capacity to love.
So tend it. Protect the soil of your soul. Pull the weeds of pressure. Cut back the vines of comparison. Let only what nourishes remain.
Boundaries aren’t barriers. They’re blessings.
They are the sacred lines where peace is preserved and purpose takes root.
You don’t need to say yes to everything. You were never meant to.
You were created to flow — not to flood, not to dry out, but to flow — steadily, gracefully, from the deep place where God dwells in you.
Guard your flow. Guard your rhythm. Guard your heart.
Because from it… life flows.
