Today’s Reading - Luke 6:43-45

Thought:

Who are you? On the surface, it seems to be a simple question but the answer is often more complicated and difficult to discover than we think. You see, when we think about who we are, we consider how we want others to see us and what we want them to think of us. We also think about who we want to be or wish that we were. But as we consider our lives and who we really are, we are taught by passages such as this one that the answer is found, not in the opinions of others or even in our own eyes, but deep within our hearts. Our lives are made into what they are by the things that we choose to put into our hearts — thoughts, actions, images attitudes, and feelings. The abundance of those things that we put into our hearts then come out as words, actions, and attitudes of our own. If we fill our hearts with good and godly things, then our lives will reflect godliness. If we fill our hearts with sinful and worldly things, then our lives will become like the world. May God help us to have hearts that are filled with Him!

What are some godly things that we can fill our hearts with?
