Teapot

"The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For out of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks." -- Luke 6:45

Most of us can dig down into our childhood memories and recite the song: "I'm A Little Teapot." And in a lot of ways we are exactly like a teapot. When we get "all steamed up" whatever is in our pot will overflow and pour out on others. The Bible is clear that whatever is in our heart will eventually come out of our mouth.

I'm a little teapot, short and stout.

Here is my handle, here is my spout.

When I get all steamed up, hear me shout.

Just tip me over and pour me out.
