Chapter 3. Actions and words are the overflow of the heart. They indicate what is really going on inside. What overflow have I observed, and have others observed recently (tone, temper, etc.)? "Out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks (Luke 6:45).
Change me on the inside! Renovate my heart! Grace me! Give me eyes to see and ears to clearly hear the overflow of my heart, and when I see what I don't like, protect me from "self-flagellation" or "self-justification", and bring me to the place where I cry out to you! Change my heart. I want to be a man through whom "justice can roll down like water, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream" (Amos 5:24 NRSV).
