With the season of “love in the air” quickly approaching, today I was thinking that God is the One who truly holds our hearts. His love letter to us is full of promises and I found 17 of God’s promises for our hearts that I want to share with you today! So here we go:
If we give generously to those in need without a grudging heart, God will bless us. Deut. 15:10
Though man looks at external appearances, God looks at our hearts. I Samuel 16:7
The righteousness of God’s principles will bring joy to our hearts. Psalm 19:8

God knows the secrets of the heart. Psalm 44:21
Our bodies will fail and our spirits will grow weak, but the strength of our heart comes from God. Psalm 73:26
When we recognize the brevity of this life, God gives wisdom to our hearts. Psalm 90:12

When we memorize God’s Word, it will protect our hearts from sin. Psalm 119:11
If we trust Him with all our hearts, He will direct our paths. Prov. 3:5&6

Oh and I have a small gift for you- some printable Valentines with Bible verses on them! The Bible verses are not the same ones as above; they are all about God’s love. You can find them in my goodies here or below. Click on the graphic and the full page pdf will open.
Have an awesome day!
Kind of springing from what Christia said, it is so important to guard our hearts. Time after time in the Bible there are instances of people hardening their hearts. We, even as Christians, need to be so careful to stay close to God and keep a clean heart. Jeremiah 17:9 says that the heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked. I don’t say that to damper the heart verses but just to say that it is so important to let God create in us a clean heart (Psalm 51:10).
Thanks so much for sharing these verses. I have a Bible app on my iPad…just a plain Bible with no study notes and all. I’ve not played with it much because I like to actually have my Bible in my hands, but I used the search (I didn’t even realize there was a search on there) to find heart verses. There are a ton of them! I think I now have a new study tool…thanks for helping me find it! 🙂
yay! and how could i leave out Psalm 51:10!!
Also love Phil 4:7 “And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
It is interesting how many times in the Bible God tells us to guard our hearts. I am not a seminary student but I dare to say it is one of the more repeated commands throughout the Good Book. How interesting that of all the things He takes interest in one of the most specific is the plan and command to watch over our hearts. Then again I think of all the vile filth which enters our lives day in and day out and can only think this is so divine and so worthy. Thank goodness for a God who understands so much more than we ever will. I can only pray for the will to follow and trust.
Wonderful, wonderful verse. Love it. Yes, I agree! Thanks Christia!!
