Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.
-Proverbs 4:23
My suggestion is that we've been guarding it against the wrong things. We've been keeping out what we're supposed to let in and so our lives are lacking.
What are we supposed to guard it from?
Being troubled (John 14). Envy, malice, etc.
But we guard it against love and relationship.
How about we let love overcome the fear of what loving will cost us.
