"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)
My neighbor decided it is time to downsize and she is preparing to move. She and her family have been spending their time cleaning out decades worth of "stuff" that she has accumulated. As we talked the other day, she advised me to start cleaning out and getting rid of unwanted and unneeded "stuff" now. As I think about all the stuff I have in my house, I also think about all the stuff that is built up in my heart.
Sometimes we hold on to things and they build up in our hearts. We may hold on to a wrong someone committed against us or we may hold on to love. Whatever we are holding onto in our hearts will come out. We can stop and reflect on what is in our hearts and then we can pray to God to help us. God can help us clean out the evil "stuff" and fill our hearts with love! We just need to ask God for His help and then trust Him. In the end we will be filled with good treasure that will bring out the best in us and those around us!
Clean the evil out of your heart so you can be filled with good treasure!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for loving me and for helping me to clean the evil out of my heart. Help me to be filled with good treasure and to speak good things out of Your love. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
