What’s the first thing that comes out of your mouth when something happens?  What do you say when you find out your friend just got something you’ve been wanting?  Are your words positive or negative?

When you receive an unexpected bill, what do you say?  Do you speak something that’s positive or negative?

When something happens, the words that flow out of our mouth is what comes directly from our heart.  That should give us reason to pause, stop, and think.

Our words can be positive or negative.  They can be faith-filled or full of doubt.  They can be real or fake, nice or mean.  Whatever they are, they are a reflection of what’s in our heart.

Is it time to check your heart?  Maybe it’s time to make some adjustments.  Don’t be down on yourself because you see a problem with your heart.  Be glad that you can see the problem.  You can’t fix what you don’t see as broken or in need of repair.

Turning a blind eye to problems will never accomplish anything good.  Embracing a life-style of learning and growing is what positions us to allow God’s transformation in our lives.
