"In
Scripture, the Lord compares your heart to a garden (Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow together to the goodness of the LORD, for wheat, and for wine, and for oil, and for the young of the flock and of the herd: and their soul shall be as a watered garden; and they shall not sorrow any more at all. Jer. 31:12).
In one
parable, Jesus says your heart is like soil; if you plant the right 
seeds, you will bring forth good fruit-some thirty, some sixty, and some
a hundredfold (Matt. 13:23). Different people will produce different
levels of fruit in their lives.
The seed is always the same—it is the Word—but the condition of your heart determines how much you produce.
Your goal should be for the garden of your heart to be so healthy that it can grow more fruit. It should produce good results so your lifestyle improves and brings glory to God.
We are to guard our hearts from old thoughts, feelings, and behaviors we know have been a problem. Proverbs 4:23 says, "Keep [or guard] your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life."

Protect your heart from the temptation to fall back into your old
nature. Uprooting that which God did not plant is critical to
protecting the garden of your heart and maintaining a healthy heart." cFaith
