Proverbs 6:16-19 There are six things that the LORD hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers. Matthew 15:18-20 But what comes out of the mouth proceeds from the heart, and this defiles a person.

My hope and prayer is that you are a reliable/trustworthy type of person. Both in the small things of life (like being someone that can be counted on to show up for work every day) but also in our faith. Is you faith growing and can it be said of you that you are reliable in matters of spirituality? Praise to the Lord that He is patient with each of us.
