Leading Your Heart

Today was the first day of Love Dare for our group and I must say we had an awesome turn out! There were 17 of us who made a commitment to ourselves and each other to grow our marriages. I have to say that I LOVE that we are going through this process with our closest friends!
Today's focus was on Leading Your Heart. Being a part of the "Romantic" society that we live in, it is popular belief that you should "follow your heart". Movies, songs, and even commercials are full of examples of this. Do what feels right at the moment...whether that means jumping into relationships blindly or downing a bag of Doritos! We can justify it at the time, but often we end up paying for it later!
Proverbs 16:25 says...There is a way that seems right to man, but in the end it is the way of death.
Often times our heart follows the path of our priorities, so if our priorities are jumbled, then so is our focus. We constantly chase more money, power, and material things, but the verse above explains were that gets us! We have to do some reassessment of our priorities and make a conscience effort lead our heart towards the path that God has established for us.
Matthew 6:21 says, Your heart will always be where your treasure is.
So I guess we have to ask ourselves, What is my treasure? Where is the majority of my time spent?
Just some things to consider as we embark on our first week of Dares!
That's all for now friends, so go forth and dare to love your spouse more each day.
