In the Bible, the heart is likened to a reservoir that brings out whatever is in it. For out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaketh. It goes with the saying that the heart is the engine room of the words that come out of the mouth. Since all men are born with a depraved heart, no one can properly guide his or her tongue until the problem of heart has been dealt with.
For out of the heart proceeds evil thoughts....These are the things which defile a man... To have your heart guided, the tips below are recommended.
First, let God rule your heart! his means you must genuinely give your life to the Lord Jesus Christ and walk daily in Him in total obedience. Second, pray always for a sanctified heart and a holy life.

Third, keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it comes the issues of life. To keep the heart, carefully observe what you allow into it through your eyes, ears, mouth and even nose. what do you feed your heart with?
