TODAY’S WORD…

.

Jesus said,

“For from within, out of a person’s heart,

come evil thoughts,

sexual immorality,

theft,

murder,

adultery,

greed,

wickedness,

deceit,

lustful desires,

envy,

slander,

pride,

and foolishness.

..

All these vile things come from within;

they are what defile you.”

REFLECTION…

.

Jesus is presenting us with a list

of what can distance us from Him

and make us badly lose the way.

.

If I love the Lord,

then I need to stop the rot.

I must refer to this list regularly,

to identify my weaknesses

and to go to the Lord with a humble and contrite heart

seeking His forgiveness

and asking Him to heal me and renew me.
