God spoke the earth and the heaven into existence. He created us in His image and likeness. His Word is powerful. What He says come to pass. This should tell us that our words are powerful too. A great life builder is one who speaks life giving words that come from the heart. Therefore, we must always check our hearts.
Keep your heart with all diligence, For out of it spring the issues of life. Proverbs 4:23 NKJV
If we have a fever, we use a thermometer to check our temperature. We have a fever if our temperature is or above 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit. How can we determine the status of our hearts to produce life giving words into our struggles or adversities? Use the lovemeter.
“ ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind,’ and ‘your neighbor as yourself.’ Luke 10:27 NKJV
The lovemeter is the Word of God. We know there is love in our hearts when we obey God’s Word.
For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome. 1 John 5:3 NKJV
