Balance You need to start operating out of your heart, and not your head. Your head is easily swayed, because of the gates of the eyes and the gates of the ears. Not everything you hear or see is as appears or sounds. The heart is secure because it contains the Word of God. It has the potential of being good ground. It just needs cultivating. It needs the hands of God to work the soil. This is again why you need to guard your heart. When the heart is healthy, the soul is happy, and the body is content. Then the seed, the Word takes root, and bears fruit producing food for its partakers. And the partakers are helped and fed. What is fed you ask. Their soul. The soul is sometimes the troublemaker when the heart is sick. The heart can be healed the way a limb is healed. For you are healed by my stripes. And like I said, when the heart is healthy, the soul is happy. See the importance of guarding the heart? I know that you've been disheartened lately. I know that sometimes you are perplexed in your soul. But it's because of what you listen to. You are not guarding your heart. I know that you are searching for teaching, as you don't go to church as faithfully as you should. You should go to church whenever possible. You should become a part of the body, and interact with them. Mingle with them. Especially the church you are paying your tithes and offerings to. It's good you are paying according to Malachi, but you need to go and hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches. It is wise to become actively involved. Volunteer and commit to the body. They need more help than just financial. I am not rebuking you, but advising you. Church is important, it produces a sense of belonging and unity, family. It is my body, and I am the head. It is what I am coming back for. This word is for you. Go faithfully, as though you knew I would be coming back that day. Yet knowing that wherever you are, I will be coming back for you regardless. Being a part of the body is more for your benefit, however I do benefit as well. I need you as you need me. Individually we make two, but together we make one. We need each other, and others need us. There is a balance for everything, and balance for everyone. When you start to lose your balance it's usually because something is off kilter. You need to do some self examination and get to the root of the cause of it. Then fix it. Put the balance back in. Keep things in perspective. Remember what you do to one side, you should do to the other. This helps the scale stay balanced. I know you don't understand what I'm talking about, so let me give you some examples. When you light a fire, and you're done with it, you should put it out. Otherwise it could do great damage. If you want to keep a fire lit, add to it. Otherwise it will go out. This could pertain to love also. If you want to capture one's heart, give them freedom. If you want to free someone, chances are you will capture them. If you're hungry, eat. If you're full, fast. Remember, I was born to die, and when I died, I came back to life. Everything has balance. Man, woman, black, white. The sun, the moon, the sky, the earth. This is not to say they are equal, it just says they are balanced. For the sun is bigger than the moon, and the sky is higher than the earth. But they balance each other. Man and woman balance each other. Stay on the path of life. There you will find balance. Jesus
