Guarding the Heart
We Must Guard Our Heart
As we are all filled with thoughts that flood our minds, let us consider each thought and decide whether it be our own, or those of the enemy of our salvation. If they be the latter they should be dispelled and given no room to linger. Negative thoughts that are allowed to grow in our heart dispel the possibility of living in purity and holiness.
Saint Seraphim of Sarov said, "To call on God is to invite him into your heart: but will you dare to invite so great a Father when you have no dwelling fit for him? Your heart is full of evil desires, and yet you invite him in." We must guard our thoughts and keep our hearts pure.
With love in Christ,
Abbot Tryphon
