[thewordfortheday]

As water reflects the face, so one’s life reflects the heart. Proverbs 27:19 When you look into a reflective surface, like water or a mirror, it gives you a reflection of yourself. It’s the same with our heart and lives- the way we live is an exact replica of what fills our hearts. Where we give our time, what we put our hands to, how we behave, how we spend money etc all testify to what has taken up residence in our hearts. Proverbs 4:23 says, “Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.” Fill your heart with God’s word, let the Holy Spirit fill it with God’s love then your life will reflect His love, His compassion and His holiness.
