A heart check-up

Scripture:
Heb 3:12 Be careful then, dear brothers and sisters. Make sure that your own hearts are not evil and unbelieving, turning you away from the living God.

Observation:
I believe it is my responsibility to make sure that my heart is in the right place. Here the writer of the Book of Hebrews says, "Be careful to make sure your heart is in the right place". How am i supposed to get my heart in the right place. Perhaps a better way to look at this would be to realize what it takes me to get my heart in the wrong place and avoid that.
The wrong place is when I am Bitter, unforgiving, self focused and unbelieving. I need to run from such things

Application:
Its crazy how easy it is to fall into having a heart that is in the wrong place. I need to check daily, perhaps even hourly on how my heart is doing. I need to always remember that my life is not to be lived in the moment for me alone. The position if my heart is for the Lord and others as well.

Prayer:
Lord, will you remind me of the position of my heart. I want to have a heart that is believing, soft and supple for you and others to see and partake of - I love you
