Heart's Devotion

The heart has, for centuries, been considered the core of our intellect and spirit. All people have someone or something as the object of their heart - someone or something that they are devoted to. They could be good things - like our children. But every one of them also has the potential to become an idol in our hearts (even if they started out as good things). We must never let anyone or anything captivate our allegiance or imagination in such a way that it replaces or weakens our devotion to God.
