Today's Daily Lesson comes from Luke chapter 6 verses 43 through 45:
43 ‘No good tree bears bad fruit, nor again does a bad tree bear good fruit; 44for each tree is known by its own fruit. Figs are not gathered from thorns, nor are grapes picked from a bramble bush. 45The good person out of the good treasure of the heart produces good, and the evil person out of evil treasure produces evil; for it is out of the abundance of the heart that the mouth speaks.
As a pastor and a friend, I want you to know that you can believe your eyes. You can believe your ears. And so when you see something going on that doesn't seem right, or hear something that doesn't sound right, trust yourself.
There is so much gas lighting that goes on out there. People say one thing then do another. Or, they say something then deny ever having said it -- even when its recorded!
But you can trust your ears, and your eyes, and your gut. And if something tells you something's wrong, it probably is.
Peaches aren't picked from bramble bushes nor tumble weeds; and as Maya Angelou said, "When someone shows you who they are, believe them."
And believe yourself too.
