Good, Evil, and Words.

Our actions are reflections of what is in our hearts. I was reading in Matthew 12:35-37 that a good man brings out the good stored in him and the bad man brings out the evil stored up in him. This caught my attention because as "stored up" I belive that it is what is in our hearts. If we have bitterness, jealousy, and anger it is like evil is stored up in our hearts and if honesty, love, and purity is stored up in our hearts it is good! We act according to what is stored up in our hearts. Then in the next verses this is about in the day of judgement, how we will have to give account of the empty words we speak. We have to be careful about what we say, if it is edifying to others or not. We can be condemned by our words! I want to be careful of what I speak and how I act because I want to have a heart full of goodness.
