Luke 6:45 (NLT) — 45 A good person produces good things from the treasury of a good heart, 

and an evil person produces evil things from the treasury of an evil heart. 

What you say flows from what is in your heart.

Luke 6:45 (The Message) — 45 It’s who you are, not what you say and do, that counts. 

Your true being brims over into true words and deeds.

Hebrews 4:12 (NLT) — 12 For the word of God is alive and powerful.

It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, 

cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. 

It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires.

Hebrews 4:12 (The Message) — 12 God means what he says. 

What he says goes. His powerful Word is sharp as a surgeon’s scalpel, 

cutting through everything, whether doubt or defense, laying us open to listen and obey.

Jeremiah 15:16 (NLT) — 16 When I discovered your words, I devoured them. 

They are my joy and my heart’s delight, 

for I bear your name, O Lord God of Heaven’s Armies.

Jeremiah 15:16 (The Message) — 16 When your words showed up, I ate them— 

swallowed them whole. What a feast! 

What delight I took in being yours, O God, God-of-the-Angel-Armies!

Out of your believing heart

flow the words of God.

These are rivers of living waters

intent on healing the hearts

of those who surround you.
