Truth in the Heart
Psalm 15:2
He that walks uprightly, and works righteousness, and speaks the truth in his heart.


"And speaketh the truth in his heart." When a man speaks the truth to himself he will speak it to his neighbour. The beginning of all sincerity is to be sincere in one's self-communings. No man will be guilty of equivocation who does not first deceive himself. The companion of God is absolutely frank and candid with himself. In his heart is to be found the fair angel of truth, and he does not defile her garments by any ill doctrine of reserve or self-evasion.

(J. H. Jowett, M. A.)
