Life According To Jim - Lessons From Jesus' Brother, James

DAY 8 OF 14

Jesus taught that the words that come out of our mouths reflect our heart – good or bad. Similarly, James thinks of our words as the fruit of a tree or the water from a spring. The words we use reveal the condition of our hearts.

And James also warns us that words work in the opposite direction: the words we use shape the condition of our hearts. Like a horse’s bit or a ship’s rudder, they have the power to shape our lives and even souls.

How might the words you use today be shaping your heart? What might they reveal about it?
