For a Child

And you shall run and wander
And you shall dream and sing
Of brave things and bright things,
Beyond The Swallows Wings

Follow Your Heart

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.
