What Does Heart Vomit Look Like?

Let me take you back to one of the best devotionals I have ever heard. I was junior volunteering at the middle school retreat for the first time. I don't really remember what the theme was or what he really said but the main point has stuck with me for many years. He wanted to make a point about how vomit shows us what a person has eaten. It shows us what is in the stomach.. there is no way of hiding the evidence of what a person has eaten. It is all there (I think this is where he actually holds up a ziplock bag of vomit). That sounds gross right? Well then he relates how our hearts are the same way. He goes on by asking us what would our heart's vomit look like?

Proverbs 27:19 states, "As the water reflects the face, so one's life reflects the heart." Right now, I do not like what my heart vomit looks like and this song is pretty much what I tell God.

"The Reason" by Hoobastank

I'm not a perfect person
There's many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you

I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
Thats why i need you to hear

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is You

and the reason is You [x3]

I'm not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you

I've found a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you
