"A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of." Luke 6:45 (for other translations: http://biblehub.com/luke/6-45.htm)
This Scripture makes us take a long, honest look at an undeniable truth: what we say is a result of what we think. No one can hear our thoughts, but they might as well have that ability, too. We reveal what we are thinking about by the words we speak, attitudes we project and actions that we take. We cannot conceal our thought life, as much as we might want to think that we can.
If we thought about the fact that our hearts would be revealed to the public, would we be more diligent at keeping our thoughts clean, edifying, hope-filled and life-giving? This serves us well - and others.
