In Matthew 12:33-37, Jesus speaks about the importance of what we feed our hearts. He uses the analogy of a tree to illustrate that a tree is recognized by its fruit. A good tree produces good fruit, and a bad tree produces bad fruit. In the same way, what we put into our hearts determines the kind of fruit we produce in our lives.
Jesus also warns against the dangers of empty words, emphasizing that we will be held accountable for every word we speak. Our words reflect what is in our hearts, whether good or bad. Therefore, it is essential to be mindful of what we allow into our hearts, as it directly affects the words that come out of our mouths.
As Christians, we should be intentional about what we read, watch, and who we spend time with. We must choose to surround ourselves with people and things that will help us grow in our faith and produce good fruit. We should also be mindful of our own thoughts and actions, ensuring that we are filling our hearts with good things that will bear good fruit.
In conclusion, as we go about our daily lives, we must remember that what we feed our hearts will produce fruit. Let us choose to fill our hearts with wholesome things, so that we may bear good fruit in our lives. Let our words be a reflection of the goodness in our hearts. And let us always remember that we will be held accountable for every word we speak.
