In order to overflow there must be a pouring in. What’s inside of you will be released but the question is, what are you pouring into your life? What are you doing on your day to day that is filling you up throughout the day because at some point what you are filling yourself with is going to come out.
We need to be careful with the things we allow in our hearts.
“Out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks” [Matthew:12:34]
If I were to spend a day with you… what would it be like? What would I hear coming out of you? Passion? Life? or would it be depressing and pessimistic remarks? What you allow in your heart will be revealed in your speech and actions, because what is in you is what rules you. How much do you Value your heart that you would protect it? To what degree would you go to keep away the things that hinder you from living at your fullest potential and giving the best from your heart?
Fill your heart with what you want to release to others. If you want to release negativity, then by all means… think your negative thoughts and never look for the positive in anything, I’m pretty sure when you get around people you will point out the negative you see in their positive. But if you want to be positive, then change the way you think, take your thoughts captive and look for the positive in every situtaion. If you want to be loving, then practice by intentionally being loving. The list goes on and on… you know what to do.
“Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” – Proverbs 4:23
Our hearts needs to be taken care of and looked after, we can’t so easily allow our hearts to be immersed in things that can cause harm to it. From this ONE heart, we do life. What you allow IN you will eventually come OUT of you. So fill up but make sure what you are filling yourself with… is worth it… only pour in what you want to release, don’t contaminate your heart ♥ It’s so precious and someone is in need of it’s best that it has to give 🙂
Prayer:
Lord, help us to be mindful of the things we are allowing into our hearts, of the people we surround ourselves with and allow to speak into our lives, help us to filter out the bad that may contaminate our hearts… and only allow IN us only what YOU approve of and say amen to. We want to release our best, help us to rid the things that hinder our best from coming out 🙂 amen.
