Being mindful of physical heart health is an important part of life. If this aspect of human existence is ignored, it will become a troubling situation for anyone. The heart is from where the springs of life flow (Proverbs 4:23). Having a healthy physical heart allows good blood flow to bring oxygen to all the parts of the body.

If a person’s heart health is failing many symptoms will be noticed. Shortness of breath, swelling in the legs, and difficulty doing even minor activities to name a few. I was diagnosed with heart disease in 2016 when suffering chest pain sent me to the ER. My LAD was 98% blocked. Catheterization was performed and a stent was placed there to relieve the blockage. Immediate relief was felt. I began eating healthier and felt so much better.

However, as time went on I began having unhealthy habits again and regained the weight. I recently began eating better and exercising more again. I am feeling much better again. I thank God for every day He allows me to live and try to do my best to be healthy physically.

Even more importantly is a person’s spiritual heart. The scriptures are clear about this idea. Every person ought to heed the Lord and His commands to have a healthy spiritual heart. This is of utmost importance. Way more important than physical health. If we do not take our spirituality seriously there are eternal consequences.

Please heed the warnings for your physical health and do your best to be healthy. Please be even more diligent to be spiritually healthy, living the Christian life to the best of your ability today and every day.
