What does it mean to keep your heart with all diligence?

From the heart comes the issues of life. If the heart is wicked, so the thoughts, imaginations and deeds will be mixed with wickedness. When a person is saved, the Lord gives us a new heart, and it can be kept pure and clean in the eyes of God. It takes prayer, dedication and a devoted life to keep your heart. Remember, it is not that which goes into a person that defiles, but rather that which comes out. So, if that which first goes into the heart is monitored and managed (the heart is the seat of all motives of life) the heart is being kept.
