“Just as water reflects our outward appearance like a mirror, so the thoughts of our hearts reveal our inner nature and character.” (Proverbs 27:19) For as it’s clearly illustrated throughout Scriptures, our hearts are deceitful, full of evil, and the basis of our corrupt mind and will. Thus, to have Godly character, we must allow the Holy Spirit to illuminate the Word in order that we can hear, receive, and properly understand the message to reshape our hearts. By directing our hearts in the Way, the Holy Spirit can wash our hearts from evil (Jeremiah 4:14)… (actually giving us a new heart and spirit, Ezekiel 18:31)…so that our hearts can firmly trust in the Lord. (Psalm 112:7)
