Stuff flows into our ears and eyes then infiltrates our minds and hearts. It is unlikely that something that enters our minds will not puncture our hearts whether it be truth or lie, pure or foul, love or lust. Additionally, it is impossible to disconnect the state of our hearts from our hands and feet and stride. In Matt. 12:34-35, Jesus says, "For from the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks. The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him." Heart matters don't only dictate our verbage; they also feed our cravings, steer our thought patterns, sway our decision making, and direct our next step. The way we walk is a direct outcome of the what we put in our heads and hearts. Proverbs 4:23 "Above all else, guard your HEART, for it is the wellspring of life. Put preversity away from your MOUTH... let your EYES look straight ahead... Make level paths for your FEET."
