Out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks

"For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks." (Mt. 12:34 NIV)
"For whatever is in your heart determines what you say." (NLT)
"Your words show what is in your hearts."  (CEV)

"It's your heart, not the dictionary, that gives meaning to your words. A good person produces good deeds and words season after season. An evil person is a blight on the orchard. Let me tell you something: Every one of these careless words is going to come back to haunt you. There will be a time of Reckoning. Words are powerful; take them seriously. Words can be your salvation. Words can also be your damnation."  (12:34-37 MSG)


We bow our hearts, we bend our knees
Oh Spirit come make us humble.
We turn our eyes from evil things;
Oh Lord we cast down our idols.

Give us clean hands, give us pure hearts;
Let us not lift our souls to another.
Oh God, let us be a generation that seeks,
That seeks Your face, oh God of Jacob.*

May the words of our mouths and the meditations of our hearts 
       be pleasing in your sight, O LORD, our Rock and my Redeemer.  AMEN.  (Psalm 19:14 NIV)
