What Pours From Your Heart?

What do you love the most? Who do you love the most?

I have heard various statements about determining the true affections of our lives...

• Check your bank account - where the bulk of your money goes is where your heart truly is
• Check the account of your life - where the bulk of your time goes is where your heart truly is

While neither of these are foolproof or infallible tests to determine one's true affections, there is something to be said for a VISIBLE faith! People who truly love God are unmistakable. Few question those people's true motivations or heart and they are truly a delight to be around. For other believers (and even non-believers) they are a breath of fresh air!

While I have never met the following gentleman (Joshua Cho) in person (college student I think) I stumbled across him and some friends on You Tube singing a cover of Geoff Moore/Steven Curtis Chapman song "Listen to Our Hearts" and... wow! Check it out:



Again, I know very little bit about him or his friends, but based on his personal you tube profile (also a refreshing and seemingly genuine outpouring of love for God), the collection of songs he sings and shares with others publicly online, and his online conduct and comments (both his and those directed to him) it would seem as though he is a young man with an honest desire to love God with all his heart, mind and soul. Luke 6:45 says that "out of the abundance (overflowing) our mouth speaks" (or live our lives); Joshua's outpouring (and maybe even that of his friends') indicates a heart truly bent toward loving God. What about yours?

If you liked the video/song you can listen or download it (and others from Joshua Cho) free here.

Parents: Our #1 job as parents is not to teach kids how to establish a religious routine, live life according to a vain morality or empty religious practices (to include going to church just to go). Our calling is to teach them how to "love the Lord with all their hearts, minds and souls." Translation: to love God in every part of their life, public and private, and to desire Him more than anything else. The best lessons, however, are not the ones we teach with our lips but the ones we live. What pours from your heart? If your kids were asked what you loved the most (other than them as a family), what would they say? It's never too late! But it's definitely time to start somewhere!
