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 in true words and deeds. [Luke 6:43-45 (MSG)] 

People see our actions, but God knows our motives. People hear our words, but God knows our hearts.
