Ive heard it said that your outer world will always be a reflection of your inner world. What’s in your heart will always find a way to the surface. Jesus said that the words we say are a reflection of our heart. Proverbs says that we are who we are based on what we think in our heart. It’s no wonder that when David sinned, He asked God to create a new heart in him. He didn’t want to be the person who committed adultery and then murderer. He knew he needed to become who God wanted him to be. The truth is we all need to become who God wants us to be and it begins in our heart.
Here are some Bible verses on the importance of the heart.
1. Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.
Psalm 51:10 ESV
2. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:7 ESV
3. A calm and peaceful and tranquil heart is life and health to the body, But passion and envy are like rottenness to the bones.
Proverbs 14:30 AMP
4. So above all, guard the affections of your heart, for they affect all that you are. Pay attention to the welfare of your innermost being, for from there flows the wellspring of life.
Proverbs 4:23 TPT
5. For your heart will always pursue what you esteem as your treasure.
Matthew 6:21 TPT
