Abundance of the Heart
“For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.” Matthew 12.34
Matthew 12.34 says that the mouth is the way that our heart speaks forth its abundance, and what is in our heart will eventually come out our mouth.
The abundance our heart (the things we fill our minds with and meditate on most) – speaks from every outflow of our being, whether we are completely aware of it or not. It shows in our daily activities as we work at being the best teacher, artist, athlete, composer, journalist, businessman – or whatever. What is in our hearts will come out – our passions and hates, hopes and fears, gains and losses flow out. In order for our attitude and actions to be positive (Godly), the Word of God tells us to meditate on those things that are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, and of good report. (Philippians 4.8) We must spend a lot of quality time studying, meditating and acting on the Word of God.
Since the fall of man (in Genesis), people have searched for answers to their problems, real love, and a sense of worth in life. They search out music, poetry, hobbies, marriage, and fellowship (often desperately,) trying to find an earthly or “spiritual” thing to fill the void in the depths of the soul.
And all along there has been the Great Creator and Saviour reaching out to man’s soul, longing to fellowship with and fill the void in the heart of the most unique and beloved being created – known as Man – God’s prize.
Today, Almighty God is still reaching out with His unending love to the lost and searching generations. All anyone has to do is reach out and hold fast to the hand of the Great I Am, and allow Him to fill their heart with a Peace they have never known – Giving love instead of hate, hope and faith instead of fear, causing man to win instead of lose.
So reach out to God and let Him fill you with His love and peace – removing the hurts and filling the voids. Turn your life over and allow Him to solve all the problems you will ever face (because He is the Great Problem Solver!)
Call out to Him today:
“Lord God, in the Name of Jesus, I reach out to You. I believe that You are the Great Creator. Even though man fell (sinned and slipped away from You), I believe that You sent a Saviour, Your only Son Jesus Christ, to save me.
I believe that He died for my sins, for my hurts, sicknesses and pains. I accept Him as my Lord, Saviour, and Redeemer. Jesus, fill the void in my life, make me fresh and new. I give my life to You. Use me as You desire. I belong to You now. I love You with all of my heart. Never let me forget what You have done for me. Amen.”
Glory to God! You are now a new creation in Jesus. Old things are passed away, and everything in you has become new. (II Corinthians 5.17)
So go forth in Jesus Name, doing all that you do to the Glory of God! When you work, glorify Him. When you play, glorify Him. When you rest, rest in Him. Whatever songs you write or sing, do it to His Glory. Whatever actions you make or thoughts you think – REMEMBER to glorify Him. Love Him because He first loved you!
GOD IS LOVE and JESUS IS LORD!
