A popular philosophy says that in
to get what you want that it’s important to
“Follow Your Heart.” In some ways
— especially when you have a noble goal
and big dream — then yes, it is indeed helpful
to follow and listen to your heart, however as
Jeremiah 17:9 warns, there is a flip-side to this.
You see, especially in matters of love, romance,
and relationships, passion and desire often easily get in
the way of wisdom, prudence, and sound judgement.
Many relationships that began with strong emotion and
burning passion have ended in failure because instead of
seeking divine guidance, they instead followed their heart
off a cliff into a broken relationship and heartbreak.
So when it comes to these kinds of 'matters of the heart'
don’t just depend on your heart to guide you, but first listen to
the Holy Spirit speaking to you through your CONSCIOUS,
confirmation by God’s Word, and especially the
encouragement - or warning - that people close
to you may be confirming or denying.
Friend, when these three things line up and are in agreement,
you’ll have confidence and confirmation
that your heart has not been mislead!
