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 studier 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.
