“A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks,” (Luke 6:45 NKJV). What I treasure is what I inwardly value. And, what I value, wish for, ponder, contemplate, daydream or give more than passing thought to drives what I outwardly say and do. It is simple really, garbage in, garbage out, good stuff in, good stuff out. This is why in Psalm 1 the “blessed” person is the one whose “delight is in the law of the Lord and in His law he meditates day and night.” Jesus showed us how His inner life allowed Him to effectively minister among the worst of sinners without fear while simultaneously exposing the hypocrisy of the outwardly religious. LORD, help me keep it real. May my love for You be genuine and my love for others be pure.
