The Best Way To Protect Your Heart

“Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.” - Proverbs 4:23

Don’t you know that in the Bible, there are more than 500 verses about prayer and about 2350 plus verses about how to handle money and possessions? (I read this one on the internet.)

Why?

Because God knows the possible effects money and possessions have on people.

And you know what? Through our giving we are protecting our heart from so many things especially those that separate us from God and His plan.

Ways on how we protect our heart through giving:

1. When we give, we are reminded that everything we have and everything we are is from God.
        
Everything we have including our life is from God.

2. Giving protects our heart from being prideful.

Maybe we think that everything we own, specifically our income, is because of our own hardwork and strength. Giving makes us humble and grateful for everything that we have received and are currently receiving.

3. Giving protects our heart from loving money more than God.

Matthew 6:24 says you cannot serve both God and money. And through giving we are showing God that we love Him more than money and any material possession.

4. Giving protects our heart from loving ourself more than God.

At some point giving may require us to deny ourself. I believe you have been in a situation where you have to decide between two options: to give to God or to use that for yourself.
Giving requires us to deny ourself and allow God’s authority to rule over our life and our finances. 

 Giving removes us from the picture because giving is about glorifying God and God alone.

BLOCKED from your BPI Express Account? Here is the solution

This happened when I was in Puerto Princesa (not that you need to know about that but it is important that you know where I was at that time). We were on a vacation with 4 of my college friends. While chilling in our room I logged in on my BPI Express Online account to check if a particular transaction happened (note that this was payday so you get the idea right?). I logged in using my old Sony Ericsson phone which was a hand-me-down from my sister. Yeah, it’s old. I filled in my username and password (which was incorrect). The page loaded my request. But because of – I don’t know – my phone or the internet connection I decided to click the login button more than once just to make sure I did what I was supposed to do. Unfortunately, the BPI online app received the transaction but my phone (or the internet) was so slow to even notify me with my failed login attempt. I remember clicking the login button one-to-many times out of annoyance. I need to chec
