TODAY'S REFLECTION
DAILY HOMILIES
Do you know God will judge us even for the thoughts we allow into our hearts? You might say, “No one knows what I am thinking… I only thought about it; I didn’t do it.” This is how the Pharisees thought, and Jesus called them fools. First, your thoughts are not hidden from God, and second, thinking evil is equivalent to doing evil. Lust is adultery, and anger is murder. (cf. Matthew 5:21-22, 27-28). “For out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. The good man out of his good treasure brings forth good, and the evil man out of his evil treasure brings forth evil.” (Matthew 12:34-35)

We keep God’s word because we are His children, not because we seek payment like workers (who hate their master but obey him to earn their salary).
