Meditations—points to ponder

We live from the heart—the part that drives and organizes our life is not the physical. 

You have a spirit within you and it has been formed: 

it has taken on a specific character. The spirit within us takes on 

whatever character it has from the experiences we have lived through 

and the choices we have made … that is what is meant for it to be ‘formed’.

How we live in the world now and in the future is, almost totally, 

a result of what we have become in the depths of our being—

in our spirit, will or heart. 

That is where we understand our world and interpret reality. 

From there we make our choices, act and react, try to change the world. 

We live from our depths but we understand little of what is there.

Proverbs 4:23 (ESV) — 23 Keep your heart with all vigilance, 

for from it flow the springs of life.

Proverbs 4:23 (NASB95) — 23 Watch over your heart with all diligence, 

For from it flow the springs of life.
