SOAP-BOX TIME!!! A common theme in today's culture is "follow your heart". Go where you feel led inside of you. Let your feelings dictate your answer. Sarah's Quote Of The Day: Letting your heart lead you is like letting a hamster take the steering wheel. My feelings aside, what does the Word say?
Jeremiah 17:9 - "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; who can know it?" Yes! That makes perfect sense! That's exactly what we need to obey! A lying, wicked thing, that we can't understand. To follow your heart blindly is quite plainly foolish.
But rarely is there only one side of a story. Any real one, at any rate. I can't find the one I want, but their are many verses about the heart that suggests you take advice from it. Now, why would God say that? I asked my brother, and he said that it was because when man turns more towards God, his heart becomes more like God's. I still wont put it in my book, and it's up to you whether or not you put it in yours.
