There are several reasons why I don't like the book about the Bible called The Message. Here is one of them. For Proverbs 3:3-6 they put,
"Don't lose your grip on Love and Loyalty. Tie them around your neck; carve their initials on your heart. Earn a reputation for living well in God's eyes and the eyes of the people. Trust GOD from the bottom of your heart; don't try to figure out everything on your own. Listen for GOD's voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; he's the one who will keep you on track."
What if I slip and cut the bottom of my heart while I'm carving the initials of Love and Loyalty in it?
