proverbs 4:23

Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.

The ESV says "Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life," which I think is interesting. Perhaps both versions allude to the same act of being cautious with your heart, but the word "vigilance" is a reminder that one must always be on watch - diligently - to ensure its safekeeping.

I think the easiest way to do that is to love the Lord your God with your heart, your soul, and your mind. To keep it from being broken, or broken only unto Him, is to ensure that your heart is His alone.
