Luke 6:43-45 Easy-to-Read Version (ERV)
The Bible serves to teach us and the Spirit makes divine connections for us regarding the spiritual life. We know in this world we can find the presence of both good and evil. People are free to choose to share words and deeds of goodness or words and deeds of evil acts.
In our passage today, we notice the heart and the mouth are connected to spiritual production: it’s called fruit bearing. What comes out of our mouths is connected to what we have stored in our hearts. That is why it is so important to forgive and extend mercy to others, because if we hold onto unforgiveness and judgment in our hearts, it is just a matter of time before our mouths are going to speak evil and our hands reach to manifest it. Choose to be a tree of righteousness; allow righteousness to fill your heart and your mouth will speak the heart of God.
