Behaviors Follow from Our Hearts

"God is far less concerned about your behaviors than you think He is, and He is far more concerned with your heart than you’ll ever know. I’m not condoning sin. But I am saying that the heart is the issue—if you get the heart in right alignment with God, the behaviors follow." 

~ Rob Reimer, "Soul Care: 7 Transformational Principles for a Healthy Soul", Carpenter's Son Publishing (2016).

Proverbs 4:23
Above all else, guard your heart,
    for everything you do flows from it.

Psalm 51:10
Create in me a pure heart, O God,
    and renew a steadfast spirit within me.

Your descendants will take possession of the cities of their enemies, 18 and through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed me.” (Genesis 22:17-18)
