My Thoughts
Boy was this verse an eye opener!!...Jesus go on to explain this to his disciples in verse 20-23 And then he added, "it is what come from inside that defiles you. For from within, our of a person's heart, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, wickedness, deceit, lustful desires, envy, slander, pride, and foolishness. All these vile things come from within; they are what defile you. So often I see someone...we see someone who just keeps doing wrong...and we dismiss it by saying but they have a good heart... sometimes we do wrong....and think but our heart was in the right place... apparently not... I will go forward from this day... hoping always to remember not to dismiss what I do wrong with the statement "my heart was in the right place"... sin actually comes from our heart... I guess I always like to think the good things came from my heart... the bad thing came from some where else.... this makes it much easier to try to make the right choices... I want my heart to be good... for people to see my heart as good... and before I start each day I will pray that God takes away the evil that hides inside my heart...just as David did in Psalms.
Hugs, Jeannie
