As I was reading in my quiet time this morning, I came across this scripture.  I’ve had this particular scripture highlighted in my Bible for awhile.  This has always stuck with me as a true representation of who we really are.

Have you ever stopped to think that the very words that come out of your mouth represent what is in your heart?  You may think, “No, the heart doesn’t really reveal who I am. I can control my thoughts and what comes out of my mouth.”  And to an extent, yes you can.

But in the heat of the moment, when you’re really angry or upset or someone cut you off in traffic, the words that come out of your mouth at that moment…those words reflect what is in your heart.

It’s definitely a good indicator of what we may need to work on so that when we do speak in the heat of the moment, God-things can come out of our mouths.

Here’s another scripture that is similar to this one, “For out of the abundance of the heart, his mouth speaks.” (Luke 6:45, NKJV)

Am I sharing this because I’m perfect?  Heck no! Far, far from it.  I’ve always loved this scripture and it struck a chord with me today when I read it and wanted to share it with you.
