“the root of the righteous yieldeth fruit.”

Proverbs 12:12

Sooner or later, whatever is down inside of us will come out!

“…for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.” Luke 6:43-45

It is my fervent prayer that my heart is right with God!  The Bible tells me that my heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked, but the Bible also tells me that when I got saved, the Lord would give me a new heart!  And now as a born again Christian I have a responsibility to keep my heart right with the Lord because… sooner or later, whatever is down inside of us will come out!

I pray that I have the fruit of the Spirit that grows from good godly roots down inside of me.  In the part of me that no one really sees, but God does!

Am I honest?  How often do I tell lies?  “Half truths”, “white lies”, - they are still lies.  Am I bitter with someone?  Do I complain often? 

Do I always talk about myself?  Do I have a bad attitude?  Am I sneaky?  Am I lazy?  Am I self-centred?  Self-righteous?

“the root of the righteous yieldeth fruit.”

“of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.”

Sooner or later, whatever is down inside of us will come out!
