Proverbs 27:19 - Signs From The Heart.

Proverbs 27:19 (NIV) As water reflects a 
face, so a man's heart reflects the man.  

INTRODUCTION

As water reflects the face, the heart of man 
reflects and reveals his inner person. [Ryrie SB] 

A man's heart reflects the man. The 
condition of one's heart indicates one's true 
character (see Mt 5:8). [NIV SB] 

COMMENTARY PEARL

   This glass is like a person, our 
pastor explained, holding up a glass to illustrate 
his point. Whatever is inside the glass 
splashes out when you shake it. If a glass is filled 
with water, then water will spill out. Tea will 
spill from a glass filled with tea. A person whose 
heart is filled with anger will respond with 
anger. A person who holds fear in their heart will 
be fearful. A joyful heart will produce a 
reaction of love and joy.  
   After hearing this illustration, I began 
using it as a tool to examine my heart and reflect 
on how I responded to various trials during 
different times in my life. When I was in my early 
twenties and going through a difficult phase, I often 
responded with anger and frustration. My anger and 
frustration spilled into my relationship with Jesus as 
well. But over the years, I have come to know Him 
more. Jesuss love has healed my heart. I have 
grown closer to Him and it shows.  
   When I was diagnosed with cancer a few 
years ago, my response wasnt anger or 
bitterness. During this time, my husband, Clay, and I 
drew comfort from Jesus. Even though we didnt 
know what the outcome would be, our faith grew. 
We believed that Jesus was in control and 
holding us close, and He was. As I look back at that 
spiritual checkup I realize that we responded with 
love, faith, strength, and hope because of Jesus. 
 
   When we face adversity, Jesus wants His 
love and hope to spill out of us. The only way 
this can happen is if we draw close to Him. His 
love fills us to overflowing and changes the way 
we respond to life and those around us. by 
Katie Minter Jones  
   Faith Step: Look at the way you respond 
to circumstances and perform a self-evaluation 
of your heart. Ask Jesus to fill you to 
overflowing with His love and hope. [Mornings With Jesus
