“Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” (Proverbs 4:23 NIV)

Did you know that with every beat, the heart sends blood all over the body, carrying oxygen to every cell?

If you’re a medical professional, you take this very seriously. You understand that many people don’t realize the weight of the heart’s role, but you are required to care for them anyway, without bias.

However, as humans with emotions, we sometimes allow biases to interfere with our work.

This was never the case with Jesus. He was never biased. He was so unbiased that other religious leaders consistently questioned and criticized him for hanging out with and helping people who were “beneath him.”

Today, God wants you to know that he has never considered you to be “less than.” He doesn’t judge your importance based on your history, your race, your gender, or how much money you make. That’s why literally anyone can talk to God. 

As you start the week, consider the issues in your heart that may need care, maintenance, and healing, and take them to Jesus. God cares about you and is here to guide you in the right direction.

“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” (Psalm 34:18 NIV)
