A good person produces good things from the treasury of a good heart and an evil person produces evil things from the treasury of an evil heart. What you say flows from what is in your heart. -Luke 6:45 (NLT)
WHAT YOU SAY FLOWS FROM YOUR HEART
A poem and essay by ILMA
What have you been saying these days?
Does it exhibit love and care?
Are they encouraging and helping others?
Do they bring you closer to your sisters and brothers?
What you say flows from what is in your heart
Avoid using words that break people apart
If you only speak the truth from God’s word
You will never be consumed or corrupted by this world.
How often have you said something that hurt others or has alienated someone from you? Words can make or break someone. This is why we are cautioned in the bible to watch what we say for it has a big effect on those who hear it.
The gospel of Luke stresses the importance of guarding your heart. It says that a good person produces good things from the treasury of a good heart while an evil person brings out wickedness from an evil heart. What comes out of our mouth is a manifestation of the condition of our heart.
PRAYER
Lord, guard my heart so I can only utter words from your truth.
REFLECTION
Why is it important to free our hearts from corruption?
