How to Keep Your Spiritual Heart Healthy

Our physical heart is vital to life—but even more crucial is the health of our spiritual heart. God’s deepest concern is not our outward appearance, but the condition of our inner life.

1. Guard Your Heart (Proverbs 6:20–29)

Adultery and other sins begin in the heart.

• Guard your desires, because they shape your actions.

• Take God's words and bind them closely to your heart.

• Exercise self-discipline by rejecting what leads you away from life.Spiritual heart health starts with protecting what you allow into your thoughts and emotions.

2. Love Jesus with Your Whole Heart (Mark 12:28–37)

At the core of faith is love—love for God and love for people.

• Jesus calls us to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength.

• Loving God deeply transforms every other relationship.

• It’s not about outward religious duty—it’s about a heart relationship.Make loving Jesus your highest priority every day.

3. Focus on the Heart, Not Appearances (Mark 12:38–40)

Jesus warned against focusing on status or public image.

• Titles, recognition, and public prayers mean nothing if the heart is wrong.

• True spirituality is humble and sincere, not for show.

• God sees through appearances—He looks straight at the heart.Keep your focus on inner authenticity, not external performance.

4. Give from Your Heart (Mark 12:41–44)

God values not the size of our gift, but the sacrifice and love behind it.

• The poor widow’s tiny offering mattered more to Jesus than all the wealthy gifts.

• True generosity comes from the heart, not from abundance.

• Giving that costs something is precious to God.Let your giving reflect a heart that trusts and loves God deeply.

5. Keep Your Heart Holy (Leviticus 13:1–59)

Holiness is an inner reality, not just external rituals.

• The Old Testament laws pointed to a heart set apart for God.

• Jesus fulfilled the law, showing that true holiness flows from love.

• Purity comes not from rule-keeping but from a transformed heart.Ask God to keep your heart holy, clean, and devoted to Him.

Takeaways

• Guard your heart—it’s the wellspring of your life.

• Love Jesus wholeheartedly—it’s the foundation of faith.

• Focus on inward sincerity, not outward show.

• Give sacrificially, out of love and trust.

• Pursue true holiness, from the inside out.
