Mark 7:21-23 “For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.”
Man, when I stop and think of all the dumb and hurtful things I've said over the years! It makes me even more grateful for God's Mercy to me! And, if that's not enough, I realize that there are so many actions I took as a result of the evil things coming out of my heart.
I haven't murdered anyone, at least physically, but how many times have I hurt some with just a word or two, or the lack of a word or two- a sin of omission?
Lord. Help me to be mindful of my words and actions that do not glorify You. Thank You for Your Mercy, for Your Grace, and for Your Son's sacrifice on the cross. In Jesus name, Amen.
