Luke 6:45 - The good man brings good things out of the good stored in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For out of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks.
What are you filling your heart with?
Are you filling it with Jesus?
In John 6:53 Jesus tells us "I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you."
When Jesus talks of eating his flesh and drinking his blood, he is calling us, inviting us into a full embrace of Him. He is calling us to fully consume him into our hearts; his love, mercy, grace compassion, teachings and commands. He is calling us to not just a surface relationship with Him, but is calling on us to take Him in fully.
If we fill our hearts with Jesus, what flows from our mouths?
Encouragement, love, concern, grace and mercy.
If we fill our hearts with the things of this world...what flows from our mouths?
Lord, today I pray that we would guard our hearts from the things of this world by filling our hearts to overflowing with You. And that from that overflow that our mouth would speak of Your love, grace, mercy, truth and commands. That you would use us to make a difference in someones life today. Amen!
