Luke 6: 45 A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.
out of the mouth speaks what the heart is full of... what is it that comes out of our mouth?
as much as I have changed.. yet there is evil in my heart sometimes... there are mean and dark thoughts.. people I don't like.. things I do that I shouldn't....
we can ask God daily to change our hearts.. to cleanse it... yet somehow.. the world still seeps into it and makes it dark...
I will use my own example of gossip... as this is one of my largest weaknesses...
I can tell myself daily that I will speak nothing negative about anyone.. yet daily.. some piece of something comes out of my mouth...
even if we only talk about our children.. we can determine to say nothing but good things about them.. speak nothing but life... yet the words that come out are still not what they should be.. they are better than what may have been in the past.. but not what they should be...
God spoke to me one day that as long as we are influencing a child.. anyone's child.. it is our responsibility to speak life and hope into the child.. if you think back to your childhood.. the things we tend to remember are the ones that should not have ever been said to us... if we take this stance on everyone that we know.. refuse to speak negative things.. even if they are true.. and instead find the life in that person.. find the positive and speak that out instead.. how much better a world this will be.. even just our own small world...
speak life daily.. as we reap what we sow.. don't we desire to receive life and not death... the future lies in our words.. speak life..
