You will know the Heart of the Person by their Fruits
Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. Matthew 7:17, NIV If you wanted to know what’s in the heart of the person, then look at his fruits. Try to identify the outcomes of his actions or the way he reacts to other people. A person’s action somehow reflects the things that are going on in his heart. A follower of God carries the fruit of the Holy Spirit with Him, and it includes love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Try to identify these traits to a person, and you will know if the Holy Spirit is with him. This…
