There is a difference between saying the right things and living them. We all know of church leaders, politicians, and celebrities that have said things to the approval of their followers, only to be later exposed as hypocrites. We are reminded in 1 John, that as part of the body of Christ, we are to love our brothers not only in word, but in action.

When we think of a pure heart that loves God, we do not speak of outward perfection or religious performance. We need to think of something far deeper that cannot be measured through ritual observance, checklists, or appearances. The purity of heart described in Matthew 5:8 is a life that seeks to love God not only with our emotions, but with our minds and actions.

Family caregiving is full of moments that don’t allow time to search and study the Bible for guidance or comfort. Decisions are required quickly. Emotions are running high. Fatigue has settled in deep. And in these moments, what we have already stored in our hearts is what will guide us and keep us from error.

On the eve of his arrest and crucifixion, Jesus prepares his disciples for the change ahead. He tells them to not let their hearts be troubled even though he knows that the events to come will be difficult, shake them to their foundation.

Human expectations and standards are not the same as God’s. When God sent Samuel to anoint a new king for Israel– to follow Saul’s reign– Samuel was reminded that a man’s stature and physical attributes say nothing of his heart. God alone knew what was written on the heart of Jesse’s sons that passed before Samuel and God alone knew who Israel needed to lead them–a shepherd named David.

Words are important. Words reveal what we believe, what we think, and likely, how we behave. Jesus tells the Pharisees that their words about him reveal what they think about God. And what they were holding in their hearts wasn’t pretty.

Heart Awareness Month reminds us to pay attention to what keeps our physical hearts beating strong. Scripture tells us to look at our spiritual hearts–the inner place where our thoughts and faith take root.

What fills our hearts shows on our faces. Joy is not only an emotion to show, but the evidence of the life we have in and through Christ. Likewise, sorrow dampens our mood, and shifts the focus from God to our troubles.
