Scripture

Proverbs 4:23

Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

KJV · Public domain in the United States · Text provenance: Project Gutenberg eBook #10

Devotional

A truth to carry

Your heart is not an endless resource. What enters it repeatedly - voices, obligations, resentment, fear, and hurried news - shapes what flows from it. Retirement can bring more control over your time, but open hours still need wise gates. Guarding your heart is not selfish isolation. It is stewardship. You may need limits on media, a pause before agreeing to another request, or distance from conversation that leaves you repeatedly wounded. You may also need to welcome what restores: Scripture, beauty, laughter, friendship, movement, creativity, and rest. A guarded heart is not a closed heart. It is a tended garden from which life can keep flowing.

Jesus Christ is the center. This app offers devotional support, not medical or emergency care.
