The tongue is the loudspeaker of the heart.You can pretend, you can polish your image, you can try to hide what lives inside you—but your tongue will eventually expose the truth. The mouth always reveals the heart. There is no disguising it.When the heart is corrupt, the tongue will spill corruption.When the heart is proud, the tongue will boast.When the heart is bitter, the tongue will lash out.When the heart is filled with sin, the tongue will declare it—sometimes softly, sometimes explosively.You may not be able to see a person’s heart, but you can hear it.Their words—those sudden eruptions of anger, those cutting remarks, those deceitful statements, those hateful tones—tell you exactly what is brewing beneath the surface.And if you think you can hide your sin, think again. God has designed the heart-and-tongue connection so that what is concealed will eventually be revealed. He allows the tongue to betray the heart, exposing what you hoped no one would notice.Your words always identify you.Your tongue always testifies about you.Because the tongue can only speak what the heart supplies.As Jesus said: “For of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.” — Luke 6:45 (KJV)
