(Proverbs 4:23 NIV) “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” 

(1 Samuel 16:7 NIV) “The LORD does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.” 

(Ephesians 1:18 TLB) I pray that the eyes of your heart will be flooded with light so that you can see something of the future he has called you to share.

(Psalm 139:23-24 NLT) Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life.

(James 4:14 NIV) What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.

(Luke 12:19-21 NIV) I’ll say to myself, “You have plenty of grain laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry.” But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?’ This is how it will be with whoever stores up things for themselves but is not rich toward God.”
