Upright

"Do good, O Lord, unto those that be good, and to them that are upright in their hearts." (Psalm 125:4)

An upright heart creates those who "be good", which in turn creates those who do good. To reverse engineer that statement does not always work. The end result of doing good does not necessarily come from one with an upright heart. This is why we can't good deed our way into heaven, for the devil himself can do good deeds.

The doing is proof of the heart. Not just once or twice. Sometimes, a lot of time must elapse before we can see and understand what the heart really is.
