What dwells in our heart determines the outcome of our life.
So guard our hearts, for everything we do flows from it!
A heart that plants nothing reaps nothing.
A heart fills with darkness yields not only a life of barrenness, but a life of poisonous fruits that spreads like an epidemic.
A life whose heart fills with love reaps the fruits of all the plans and actions of the depth of such love sows. It is a life of light whose very nature is to take over darkness. Darkness gives way to light without a say.
All a person’s ways seem innocent to them, yet motives are weighted by the Lord. The Lord searches every heart, and understands every desire and every thought.
Who can say, “I have kept my heart pure; I am clean and without sin”? Only a contrite heart covered in Jesus’ blood.
The Lord does not consider what appeals to the eyes because He does not look at the things people look at. People look at outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.
So in the depth of our heart SEEK HIM and do not forsake Him and He will be found. A heart completely yields to the Lord reaps life abundance.
Commit to the Lord whatever we do. Serve Him with wholehearted devotion and with a willing mind, not for others to see but to please the heart of the Audience of One. Then He will establish our plans.
[1 Chronicle 28:9, Proverbs 4:23, 16:2,3, 20:9, 1 Samuel 16:7]
Yes, out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks! Pay attention to your words and the words of others to know the condition of the heart, but at the same time be careful of those who flatter with their words also. Great post.
