I'd just like to address a saying I've been seeing a lot lately. I'm surprised by how many Christians even live by it.
"Follow your heart"
It's a very popular phrase and belief. It sounds good. To just do what you feel is right. Yes it sounds good, but it's terribly wrong.
Jeremiah 17:9 says "The HEART is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?"
Did you get that? The heart isn't something you can trust. Sometimes it will be swayed by feelings. Sometimes it will be dominated by the will. I would just like to emphasize to you DON'T FOLLOW YOUR HEART. If not given wholly to God it will lead you astray and away from God. Follow Christ. He will never lead you astray.
So true! It disturbs me seeing that statement around too. Not only can our heart lead us astray, just doing what we want - following our heart - doesn't bring lasting satisfaction either!
