“The good person out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth what is good; and the evil person out of the evil treasure brings forth what is evil; for his mouth speaks from that which fills his heart.” Luke 6:45
If you wish to identify a tree, you have to examine its fruit. Jesus used this imagery to show that our outward actions reveal the true condition of our hearts. In a way, our words serve as the overflow valve for our souls.
What we allow in ultimately dictates what comes out. If we fill our minds with worry, dread, stress, and worldly negativity, those things will eventually spill over for everyone to see. Conversely, if we intentionally fill our minds with Christ, His goodness, kindness, and love, those virtues will also naturally reflect in our lives.
If you want to change your speech, change what you allow into your heart. Guard your heart today and be careful what you let in. Anchor yourself in the blessed hope of Christ, and let your words bring life and encouragement to everyone you meet. Let’s be the people who pour out Christ to the world and leave no doubt in their minds who it is we serve!
