In Proverbs 4:23 say "Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it"

But i was wondering what does this mean.....how can i guard my heart.....should i close to all the ppl until i know them well....should i open to some ppl only, should i try not to feel or not to share my feelings with someone....or its about of what i feel...because i want to guard my heart, but i dont know what does this mean. :confused:

What do you think? How do you guard your heart?

PSALM 119:105-107
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
I have taken an oath and confirmed it, that I will follow your righteous laws.
I have suffered much; preserve my life, O LORD, according to your word.

Amy Grant - THY WORD -- LYRICS

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet
And a light unto my path.
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet
And a light unto my path.

When I feel afraid,
And think I’ve lost my way.
Still, you’re there right beside me.
Nothing will I fear
As long as you are near;
Please be near me to the end.

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet
And a light unto my path.
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet
And a light unto my path.

I will not forget
Your love for me and yet,
My heart forever is wandering.
Jesus by my guide,
And hold me to your side,
And I will love you to the end.

Nothing will I fear
As long as you are near;
Please be near me to the end.

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet
And a light unto my path.
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet
And a light unto my path.
And a light unto my path.
You’re the light unto my path.



AMY GRANT - WISE UP --- LYRICS
Got myself in this situation,
I'm not sure about.
Climbing in where there's temptation,
Can I get back out?
I never can quite find the answer,
The one I want to hear.
The one that justifies my action
Says the coast is clear.
Something on the outside
Says to jump on in,
But something on the inside
Is telling me again,

Chorus:
Better wise up.
Better think twice.
Never leave room for compromise.
You better wise up.
Better get smart.
And use your head to guard your heart.
It's gonna get rough,
So you better wise up.

Take a look at your intentions,
When you have to choose.
Could it be that apprehension,
Might be telling you,
To back off now is better,
So take your heart and run.
But get your thoughts together,
Before they come undone.

(Repeat Chorus)

(You got to wise up.
You got to think twice.
You got to wise up.
You got to. You got to.)

To back off now is better,
So take your heart and run.
But get your thoughts together,
Before they come undone.

(Repeat Chorus)

So you better wise up.
Better think twice.
And never leave room for compromise.
Oh, you better wise up.
Better get smart.
And use your head to guard your heart.
It's gonna get rough,
So you better wise up.

(You got to wise up.
You got to think twice. (Hohhhh!)
You got to wise up. (Oh, yeah!)
You got to. You got to.)

So you better wise up, now....

(You got to wise up.
You got to think twice. (Better wise up, y'all!)
You got to wise up.
You got to. You got to. (Oh, yeah!))

(You got to wise up.
You got to think twice. (Better...)
You got to wise up. (Oh, you better wise up, now....)
You got to. You got to. (Ohhhhh, yeah!!!))

(You got to wise up. (Hoo! Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoooooooo-hoo!!)
You got to think twice.
You got to wise up.
You got to. You got to. (Oh, got to show yo', yeah!))

(You got to wise up.
You got to think twice. (Hoaa!! Oowwwww!!!)
You got to wise up.
You got to. You got to.)
