保守己心

¶“你要保守你心，胜过保守一切。〔或作：你要切切保守你心〕因为一生的果效，是由心发出。”（箴4:23）

¶心是诸原则所居之处，也是诸行动涌出的泉源。神的眼目所注视的，基督徒的眼目也应当主要注视的，就是心。

¶归正中最大的难处，是把心赢归神。

¶归正后最大的难处，是使心常与神同在。

¶信仰最吃紧、最用力之处就在这里；通往生命的路之所以是小路，通往天堂的门之所以是窄门，也在这里。

¶在各种光景中保守并正确治理自己的心，是基督徒一生的大事！

¶“哦，愿我有一颗更圣洁的心！

¶哦，愿我有一颗更恨恶罪的心！

¶哦，愿我有一颗更爱神、与祂同行更亲近的心！

¶主啊，无论祢不给我什么，都不要不给我这样一颗心！

¶赐我一颗敬畏祢、爱祢、以祢为乐的心！”

¶"Guard your heart above all else-for it determines the course of your life!" Proverbs 4:23

¶The heart is the seat of principles-and the fountain of actions. The eye of God is, and the eye of the Christian ought to be-principally fixed upon it.

¶The greatest difficulty in conversion-is to win the heart to God.

¶The greatest difficulty after conversion-is to keep the heart with God.

¶Here lies the very pinch and stress of religion; here is that that makes the way to life a narrow way, and the gate of Heaven a straight gate.

¶The keeping and right managing of the heart in every condition-is the great business of a Christian's life!

¶"Oh, for a holier heart!

¶Oh for a heart to hate sin more!

¶Oh for a heart to love God more-and to walk more closely with Him!

¶Lord, whatever you deny me-do not deny me such a heart!

¶Give me a heart to fear You, love You and delight in You!"
