Early in our lives, we learn to guard our hearts. It is like we erect a fence around our hearts with a gate in it. No one can enter that gate unless we allowe him or her to. In some cases the fence we erect could be likened to a small picket fence with a welcome sign on the gate. Other hearts have been so hurt or deadened by sin that they have an eight-foot chain-link fence topped with razor wire around them. The gate is padlocked and has a large no trespassing sign. Let us all apply the idea of a gateway to our heart-Gerald N. Lund 2008
