The heart bears the imprint we carry in life...
The joy or the pain, the rest or the strife.
Salvation and praise will cause it to flourish.
The wealth of God's Word it's heartbeat will nourish.
It's not meant to carry sin, guilt and shame,
But living for Jesus it's health will reclaim.
It surely will ail if we do not forgive,
But loving and sharing will cause it to live.
Kindness and goodness bring radiant good health.
Patience and gentleness will add great wealth.
Peace and longsuffering cause anguish to cease.
The fruits of the Spirit bring precious increase.
"But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law."
Galatians 5:22 KJV
