STEWARDING YOUR HEART Article By: Scott Brady

What do you see when you look at the picture below? A. A person protecting their heart? B. A person offering their heart? C. Both A and B? When we think of "stewardship" we tend to think of money and possessions. In truth, we steward everything entrusted to us. We steward our opportunities, we steward our relationships, and we steward our hearts. Stewardship always seeks to navigate the path between risk and safety. If we don't risk, we don't gain. But, if we risk too recklessly, we could lose it all.

How does this apply to stewarding our hearts? In each relationship (or potential relationship) we are trying to answer the question, "How much of my heart do I expose to this person?" If I hold back too much our relationship won't progress and could die. But if I'm too reckless with my heart, I could end up entrusting it to someone who won't value and care for it. Stewardship is about entrusting. See how Jesus practiced stewardship with his heart: "But Jesus would not entrust himself to them, for he knew all people...he knew what was in each person." (John 2:24,25)

"Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do they may trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces." Jesus, in Matthew 7:6

THE WELLSPRING OF YOUR LIFE

Article By: Becka Brady Wellspring is described as being a place of continual and abundant supply. God tells us in his word to guard our hearts for it is the wellspring of our life. As stewards of our hearts, we carry a responsibility to care for them. Years ago I learned a valuable lesson from a mentor. While visiting together he suddenly tossed a throw pillow at me. I was taken off guard and asked him why he did that. He told me that was how I was handling my heart. I needed to learn to guard it for it was the wellspring of my life. From that day forward I had a new appreciation for what went into my heart and who would be entrusted with the outpouring of it. It took time, but I came to see that my heart was the home where my story lived and it was like a precious pearl worthy of guarding. When I began to respect my heart for being the wellspring of my life, the way I shared and allowed others into these places changed. I began to steward my heart inside relationships and in doing so I learned the value of my story my wellspring. The outpouring of my life turned from ashes to beauty because I learned to steward the wellspring responsibly. www.cornersoftheheart.com

"Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life." Prov 4:23

"Inside each of us lies a story that speaks loudly the beauty and essence of our lives journey. It is up to us to speak it out loud and proclaim the message it holds. Your story will effect lives in a powerful way. In sharing...your ashes are turned to beauty and your adversities become like pearls."

You Are Chosen ARTICLE BY: BECKA BRADY

Many people grew up in homes not feeling valued or cherished. Even inside of marriage a person can go years living with a lack of respect, honor, love and being cherished. You may see yourself looking for places where you can escape the constant feeling of not being good enough but still coming up with a sense of unworthiness. We can go a lifetime feeling like we are unworthy because of negative messages sent our way from a parent, teacher, spouse or friends. We may not realize that we are of great value to God. He truly is the only source that matters when it comes to our value. And in His eyes...YOU are highly valued.

There are two powerful, loving messages God has for you, “You are my child,” and “You are chosen.” This message becomes personal when you remember that God was thinking about YOU before He even created the world. I encourage you to FULLY ACCEPT this truth. In your moments of solitude allow this truth to be planted deep into your heart and mind. It may be a journey that takes time and determination, but as you sit in acceptance of this truth and see your value through God’s eyes, the messages of unworthiness and lack will be broken off and you will find yourself accepting and loving YOU. In the same way God does!
