"Keep Thy Heart Free"

 

Church of All Saints ~ Barrowby, Lincolnshire

"Be thou always as a stranger and a guest on this earth, 
and consider the things of this world as matters that concern thee not. 
Keep thy heart free and always directed upward unto God; 
for here on earth thou hast no permanent home."

The Imitation of Christ ~ Thomas a Kempis


"Keep thy heart free" 

free from resentment
factionalism ~ tribalism
consumerism

free from obsessing
the stupidity du jour
the love of money

free from addiction 
wanting to be like everyone else
self deception

free for
the Glory of God
the re-dramatization of Christ's Life
free to be the unique self born of God's mind and heart.
