The attitudes and values in your heart are expressed each day on your face, in your voice, and through your actions. While outside circumstances do influence you, who you are is clearly demonstrated in the way you handle everyday situations. Prayer and self-examination help you know yourself and keep your motivations pure. As you cultivate a relationship with God, God will live in your heart. Others can see when God is living on the inside of your heart. God's Spirit gives you peace and joy even in challenging situations.
