Luke 6:45 A good person produces good things from the treasury of a good heart, and an evil person produces evil things from the treasure of an evil heart. What you say flows from what is in your heart.
Over the past few weeks it has been brought to my attention that one of my children has been using profanity at school. The excuse that was give to me was that no where in the Bible does it say the we shouldn't "cuss". So the other night my wife and I sat down with my child and discussed in great length where in the Bible it talks about using foul language. I then had the child write down the verses and have now posted them all around the house for my whole family to learn and ponder. This verse is the one that is posted on our computer.
This verse also reminds me that no matter how bad the day gets, or how bad I disagree with someone, I can always have something good to say if I have good stored in my heart. My prayer is that I continue to fill my heart with good and not evil. I only want to be a light to those around me.
