I am a Jesus pusher!!! Jesus moves quickly from attitude to ACTIVITY. Automatically, the mouth speaks the attitude. “Raca” (you blockhead) escapes my heart into the airwaves of my world. “Fool” comes to the forefront and influences my life’s tone. Everything Jesus proclaimed, “For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks” (Matthew 12:34), comes true. My life is a gigantic mouth that does not lack words to speak. This mouth does not need to search for material to speak but finds more than enough. My attitude of anger produces much material to permeate my world.
Actions are the invariable expression of what we are in the heart. We display our private convictions through our public actions. Someone said, “Actions are to the soul what streams are to the spring, what branches are to the root. Branches have no existence but what they derive from roots. Actions have no moral existence but that which they derive from the heart.” Jesus anxiously pleads with us! Do not begin with the outward action, the symptom. Transformation must come from the inner being. Please begin with the heart condition. Our hearts must embrace the helplessness within which it dwells. Jesus alone is the only resource for the helpless heart. This only occurs with the merger of who we are and who He is! There is no hesitation on His part; He is waiting for our response.
