"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)
As Valentine's Day approaches, we begin to see hearts popping up all around us. The hearts are to remind us of love, but we also know that evil exists in the world. As we look at the heart decorations, candies, and cards, we can also look inward to evaluate our own hearts.
While we may not always realize, it is easy for others to know what is in our hearts. Our words and actions reveal what is in our hearts. When our hearts are filled with evil, we speak evil words and do evil things. If our hearts are filled with good treasure, then we will speak good words and do good deeds. As we look at our words, actions, and heart, we need to be honest in our evaluations. We also need to ask God for help in removing the evil from our hearts and filling them with His love, compassion, and peace! With God's help our hearts and mouths will bring forth good!
Make sure your heart is filled with good treasure so you will speak good words!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for all the goodness and blessings You have given me in my life. Please help me to keep my heart filled with good treasure and my mouth speaking good words filled with Your love. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
