Mark 7:14-15

14 And he called the people to him again, and said to them, "Hear me, all of you, and understand:

15 there is nothing outside a man which by going into him can defile him; but the things which come out of a man are what defile him."

17 And when he had entered the house, and left the people, his disciples asked him about the parable.

18 And he said to them, "Then are you also without understanding? Do you not see that whatever goes into a man from outside cannot defile him,

19 since it enters, not his heart but his stomach, and so passes on?"(Thus he declared all foods clean.)

20 And he said, "What comes out of a man is what defiles a man.

21 For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, fornication, theft, murder, adultery,

22 coveting, wickedness, deceit, licentiousness, envy, slander, pride, foolishness.

23 All these evil things come from within, and they defile a man."

What touched my Soul

“... from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, fornication, theft, murder, adultery...”

the heart of men Is the source of all good or bad actions.

this week I read in an christian article about men actions, that a bad action, a bad situation, a bad moment can be positive if you put a good heart on it.

A decision made with love and with the heart in the right place. The place where love for our neighbour is rule, even if turned out to have a bad outcome, God will perceive and accept it as a good thing. Because our heart was full of love when the actions was taken.

the right heart, the heart of love in all things should be the aim of all Christians.
