The Heart's True Reflection #1681

The Heart's True Reflection From the heart, the mouth speaks clear. Words can defile, instill fear, and evil thoughts find their way in the things we do and say. Not by hands unwashed we’re stained, but by hearts where sin has reigned. Thieves and greedy, drunk and vile, swindlers with deceitful guile—these will not inherit light, the kingdom's gates closed up tight. Real defilement comes from sin, rooted deep where thoughts begin. Seek a heart that's pure and true, speak with love in all you do. For what proceeds from deep inside is where true defilement hides. -Steven G. Lee (June 7, 2024)
