"The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth what is good; and the evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth what is evil; for his mouth speaks from that which fills his heart." -Luke 6:45 (NASB)
I recently saw a quote that said teachers make more decisions every minute than a surgeon. While I do not know of that is true or not, I do know that we all make numerous decisions every day. No matter what whether we are at work, at home, at church, or out having fun, we make decisions, sometimes without even thinking about them! How do we make decisions?
The decisions we make are often related to what is in our hearts. We can respond with love and goodness or we can respond with evil. Our decisions and responses depend on the feelings that are rooted in our hearts. To be sure that we make decisions rooted in goodness, we need to be sure that our hearts are filled with goodness. We can fill our hearts with goodness by filling our hearts with God's Word, love, compassion, grace, and mercy. We can be redeemed through God and our hearts can be made whole and good when we put them in God's hands. After trusting and having faith in God, we can then show others a heart-filled response of goodness and love!
Make sure your heart is in God's hands so that your decisions and responses are rooted in goodness!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for loving me. Please fill my heart with Your love and goodness and help me to make decisions and respond to others out of the goodness and love You have placed in my heart. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
