And as his heart is, such his life will be.

"He who lives without prayer - he who lives with little prayer - he who seldom reads the Word - he who seldom looks up to heaven for a fresh influence from on high - he will be the man whose heart will become dry and barren; but he who calls in secret on his God - who spends much time in holy retirement - who delights to meditate on the words of the Most High - whose soul is given up to Christ - such a man must have an overflowing heart; and as his heart is, such his life will be." - Charles H. Spurgeon

Although you shamelessly bought a Spurgeon devotional purely for the purpose of stealing quotes from it for your blog, you still manage to pick a most convicting one. Good work.

It is so true that the times in my life that have been bathed most in prayer have also been the times that my heart has been the most tender and compassionate. And the times when prayer was sorely lacking...well, my heart would grow hard.
