There are a great number of sentences that are said backwards of what they should be. Make that a great number of thoughts. The general form is 'Thou art for thou do' (Translation: One is [ ] because one does [ ].) Something is wrong. The sentence shows definition by result. Is that who you actually are?
The thing is, sentences are written thoughts. Hacking, inverting, and sugar-coating are all ways that these thoughts are corrupted. The particularly dangerous one is inverting. If one does because of what one is, he is not what he does. But reverse that a bit. You are your actions and their results. What you do determines what you believe, what you love.
I would challenge that what one loves should determine what they do. It actually does. One who loves their image would do something good or shrewd to make themselves look better. (Let's face it. We all do it.) One who loves their friends will try to make sure their needs are met. One who loves to serve will. What one loves is what one does.
Courage is a condition of the heart. A possession. One is not courageous because he did something slightly crazy and necessary. One did something crazy and necessary because of his courage. Everything has a reason at the heart, what is created to be as it is, lest it become corrupt. A repentant heart will change back to how it was created. It will repair the mind by the actions, by the power of a healing Spirit.
