保守己心Keeping the Heart
“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!"
