"For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."
Romans 10:10
This, to me, seems to show the connection that we have to make between our inward and outward selves in order to be true and consistent in dealing with God... and all of life, really. We have to have our heart involved, so that we are sincere and so that we can truly dedicate ourselves... and we have to have the mouth and the outward signs as well, so that we aren't split into internal factions... the heart and the rest of ourselves working against each other. I think that is one of the things that goes wrong with us when we stray from God's path. Part of us is wanting to go back on the path and part of us is walking off, and we start having severe internal struggles, until we can reunite ourselves again. Also, we just aren't able to be honest with ourselves or others unless we have that kind of internal unity. So, today... let's try to just be one person, and not change with the tide, time, or situation. :)
