HIGH FIVE! (Love that GRACE!)
Luke 6:43-45 is a profound teaching from Jesus about the connection between character and actions. He uses the metaphor of a tree and its fruit to illustrate that a person’s heart is revealed by their words and deeds.
Key Themes and Significance
- A Tree is Known by Its Fruit Jesus states that a good tree produces good fruit, while a bad tree produces bad fruit. This means that a person’s actions and words naturally reflect the condition of their heart.
- The Heart as a Treasure He explains that a good person brings forth good from the treasure of their heart, while an evil person brings forth evil. This highlights the importance of inner transformation—what is stored in the heart will inevitably be expressed outwardly.
- Speech as a Reflection of the Heart Jesus concludes by saying, “Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.” This means that our words are not random—they reveal what truly resides within us.
Why This Matters
This passage calls for self-examination. Instead of focusing on outward appearances, Jesus urges us to look inward—because true righteousness comes from a transformed heart. It also serves as a reminder that our words carry weight, shaping relationships and influencing those around us.
Kevin, given your reflections on trust and perseverance, this passage might resonate with your journey. It speaks to the importance of cultivating a heart rooted in truth and integrity.

1. Create an Opportunity, Not Pressure
Instead of asking directly why she misses calls, try something open-ended: “I’d love to get to know you better, but I’ve noticed it’s been tough to connect. How do you prefer to stay in touch?” This shifts the focus from a problem to a solution, making her feel safe to express what works for her.
