What Truly Matters! August 6, 2025

"There is nothing outside a person that by going into him can defile him, but the things that come out of a person are what defile him

Mark 7:15

Today’s Word

Jesus reminds us that it’s not the outward things that define us—it’s what flows from within. Our words, attitudes, and actions reveal the state of our hearts. It’s easy to focus on appearances, but God is looking deeper. He calls us to guard our hearts and let kindness, truth, and grace overflow. What you allow to grow inside—faith, forgiveness, humility—will shape what comes out of you.

Prayer

Lord, help me to be more aware of what I let take root in my heart. Cleanse me from anything that doesn’t reflect You. May my words and actions flow from a place of love, truth, and humility. I want to honor You not just in what I say, but in who I am. Amen.
