Luke 6:43-45 New International Version (NIV)
43 “No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit. 44 Each tree is recognized by its own fruit. People do not pick figs from thorn bushes, or grapes from briers. 45 A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.
Our hearts, not just our actions, need to be conformed to God's will.
Obedience to God needs to be heartfelt and heart-driven. When it is, then our hearts determine the fruit we bear. So let's ask God to guard our hearts, cleanse our hearts, and conform our hearts to his own.

LUKA 6:43-45
43 Kwa maana hakuna mti mzuri uzaao matunda mabaya, wala mti mbaya uzaao matunda mazuri;
44 kwa kuwa kila mti hutambulikana kwa matunda yake; maana, katika miiba hawachumi tini, wala katika michongoma hawachumi zabibu.
45 Mtu mwema katika hazina njema ya moyo wake hutoa yaliyo mema, na mtu mwovu katika hazina mbovu ya moyo wake hutoa yaliyo maovu; kwa kuwa mtu, kinywa chake hunena yale yaujazayo moyo wake.
Mioyo yetu, na siyo tu matendo yetu, inahitaji kugeuzwa ili kufuata mapenzi ya Mungu. Utii mbele za Mungu unahitaji msukumo wa kweli toka ndani ya mioyo yetu. Tukiweza kufanya hivyo, matendo yetu yatatokana na kile tuwazacho na kupanga ndani ya mioyo yetu. Hivyo, tumwombe Mungu ailinde mioyo yetu, aitakase, na kuibadili iwe mali yake.
