We're about to have our yearly, special event at church called and "Ingathering". It's a time for our members to be together and worship God. It's kind of like our New Year and family reunion and revival.
One of my friends sent a text to everyone saying
"Let's guard or hearts in preparation for the Ingathering."
I was asking myself: what is guarding my heart? I have heard this said often growing up and as with so many other things that I don't understand, I am excited to come to an understanding of what this means. I know it means something beautiful.
I was just thinking: what is something that I guard? How do I guard it?
I went to a wine tasting a few months ago and was given a wine glass with the event name printed in it.
It's special to me. I keep it in my room and only use it to drink special drinks like wine or special juices. I dare not leave it out in the kitchen where others can use it. I've left special things out before and they've been broken.
So I think I have somewhat of an understanding now of what guarding my heart is: It is keeping my heart away where it won't be broken or used. And used for a purpose that it's not meant for, or for the wrong time. I think this meaning fits well, i think it's beautiful.
