WHAT IS YOUR ACT?
Around the Year with Emmet Fox
June 3
People are to be judged by their actions.
We sometimes hear it said,
"His conduct is bad but at heart he means well";
but this is nonsense.
In the old-fashioned phrase,
"handsome is as handsome does."
The bad-tempered person cannot possibly
have "a heart of gold" as is sometimes charitably said.
A bad-tempered person has a mean, selfish heart
and should get busy and change it without delay.
One who loves does not seek his own advantage.
Love acts the part, and anything else is hypocrisy.
“ . . be ye kind one to another,
tenderhearted, forgiving one another,
even as God for Christ's sake
hath forgiven you”
Ephesians 4:32
