"You don't get wormy apples off a healthy tree, nor good apples off a diseased tree. The health of the apple tells the health of the tree. You must begin with your own life-giving lives. It's who you are, not what you say and do, that counts. Your true being brims over into true words and deeds.
Luke 6:43‭-‬45 MSG

EXAMPLE
A man fell and no one helped because they didn't want to lose their place line. It was inconvenient to their goal. Am I so committed to my on agenda that I will step over someone in need?

It's not what goes into your mouth that defiles you; you are defiled by the words that come out of your mouth."
Matthew 15:11 NLT

"Anything you eat passes through the stomach and then goes into the sewer.  But the words you speak come from the heart—that's what defiles you.  For from the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, all sexual immorality, theft, lying, and slander.  These are what defile you. Eating with unwashed hands will never defile you."
Matthew 15:17‭-‬20 NLT

Treasure is accrued over time and increases in value.

When the enemy attacks what's in your heart is what comes out.

Feelings will lie to you. That's why we don't function on feelings we are led by the holy Spirit. Feelings have limited vision.

You can me externally observant AND consistently immoral.

You have to change the confession of your mouth with a change in your heart.

What kind of legacy do I want to have?

Feelings betray responsibility.
Even though this feels good, I have responsibility.

Feelings betray necessity.
Feelings betray accountability.

Stay with the people who will tell you truth even when you dont want to hear it.

Heart for God's word.
Heart for God's plan.
Heart for God's people.

I have hidden your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.
Psalms 119:11 NLT
