As this verse puts it, our innermost thoughts and desires will "overflow" into our actions and become obvious. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke%206:45&version=NIV 2009-09-25T11:29:22-05:00 What's in our hearts will always influence the way we act. If our hearts are focused on pure and godly things, our words and actions will reflect that. But if our hearts are selfish, the words we speak will make that clear as well. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans%2015:13&version=NIV 2009-08-19T14:33:25-05:00 As we trust God, we open ourselves to receive His peace and joy. Many of the blessings God offers to us are limited not by God's grace, but by our own lack of faith. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2012:34&version=KJV 2009-07-28T11:26:07-05:00 Our words are a good indicator of what's in our heart. If the things we say are unpleasant and false, it speaks volumes about our inner thoughts and values. It's no use claiming to be righteous if your own words suggest otherwise.
