See the Invisible Heart
33 “A tree is identified by its fruit. If a tree is good, its fruit will be good. If a tree is bad, its fruit will be bad. 34 You brood of snakes! How could evil men like you speak what is good and right? For whatever is in your heart determines what you say. 35 A good person produces good things from the treasury of a good heart, and an evil person produces evil things from the treasury of an evil heart. 36 And I tell you this, you must give an account on judgment day for every idle word you speak. 37 The words you say will either acquit you or condemn you.” Matthew 12:33-37
The creator knows His created. He knows…to see is to believe.
We know good fruit from bad, our eyes confirm truth.
But invisible is difficult.
How do we know someone’s heart?
Listen.
Hear the heart fruit.
Words reveal what’s in the heart.
Watch.
Actions speak with more volume than words.
Virtue filled hearts contain beneficial words and actions profitable to others.
What hides in hearts?
Spoiled fruit.
Begin with anger, resentment, pride, selfishness, ego…
No buts. No exceptions. Can’t do it myself.
We need grafting into the true vine of good fruit.
He said, “I am the true vine.”
