Proverbs 4:23 - "Above all else, Guard your heart for out of it is the wellspring of life."
Our theme for Arvada Covenant Women Ministries is "Guard Your Heart". You and I both know that relationships can be difficult to navigate, including your relationship with Christ. Stuff happens in life and we get hurt, by our friends, our family, and sometimes God. It is interesting that through this proverb God exhorts you to guard you heart, yet what goes unstated is that you are not to be guarded in your heart. Pain often leaves you with a reflex to guard against further pain. However, God wants you to wash the pain with His Spirit to cleanse your soul so you can always remain unguarded while you seek to guard. We look forward to a great year in Women Ministries as we learn together how to guard without becoming guarded.
God Bless,
Cheryl Meakins, Women Ministries Chair
