"As a man thinketh in his HEART so is he."  (Proverbs 23:7)

This is a very familiar proverb; one that you have no doubt read, or heard, many times. I have come to believe over the last several years that there is more truth in this saying than what we may have realized. You see, the 'heart' is at the heart of the matter, indeed. The Bible say much about the heart, and yet we spend so little time understanding and caring for it. I submit that the 'heart', as discussed here, is synonymous with the SOUL. As we shared in our last posting, the soul is that arena of our being that houses the emotions, the memories, the beliefs, the hurts, etc. It is that area that governs so much of the actions and outcomes we experience.

Coming into our full leadership potential has everything to do with the degree to which our soul is healthy. Whether or not we prosper in our relationships, our finances, our jobs, our businesses is completely dependent on how healthy we are in our hearts. Broken heart, broken life. The Bible says it like this.

"Beloved, I pray that in all respects you may prosper and be in good health, even as your soul prospers." (3 John 1:2)

God desires for us to truly be WHOLE. He desires for us to experience the fullness of what He designed for our lives. You owe it to yourself to examine your heart. What emotions control your behaviors and actions? What attitudes are causing you to sabotage your own success? What memories have you not been willing to look at, and deal with? What areas of your heart (or your soul) need to be restored and healed?

You are needed on the front lines of this new leadership movement. You are capable of doing more than you are presently experiencing. You are worth the time and the effort of looking into your heart, and allowing God to heal those areas that have become limiting factors.

Let's take the journey together!
