REFLECTION OF THE HEART
Prov. 27:19 As a face is reflected in water, so the heart reflects the person. NLT
No one can see what is in the heart, but we can get a fairly good idea by watching how a person lives. Our actions and words are determined by our relationship with God. The farther away from God we are, the more like the world we become. The closer we are to God, the more like Christ we become. The way we live reflects the condition of our souls.
Actions and words when repeated regularly begin to become habits to us. The more we repeat them, the more ingrained they become in our souls. Our hearts determine the habits we form.
What kind of habits have you formed in your life? Do your words and the things you say reflect the life of Christ in you? If they are questionable, then it is time to do a heart check-up. If your heart is right with the Lord, you will want to please him. You will want to avoid those things that you know displease him. You will not let unholy habits rule your life.
If your heart is right with God, it will show in what you do and say. Others will not be confused about who you are. You will reflect the righteousness and holiness of Christ. If your heart is right with God, you will have a hunger and thirst for Him in your life. You will be a consistent reader and student of God’s Word. You will consistently commune with Him in prayer. You will serve Him consistently in your life.
The character of your heart is reflected in how you live your life.
