The following is a post from a favorite blog that I follow. I am re-posting it here and at the bottom I am placing His blog address so you can check out more of his blogs. He is my youngest Daughter and her family's Pastor.He has great insights! You will enjoy his blogposts!
"...there's a phrase that I hear often that I'm tired of hearing. I want to put it
out there as a plea to quit saying it and most importantly, to
stop doing it. Here's the phrase I don't want to hear
anymore: "I'm following my heart."
Almost
every person I sit down with in counseling is suffering from the results of
following their heart.
You
probably read the headlines recently of the teacher who left his wife, children,
and teaching career in order to move in with a former 18-year old student. Their
reasoning was "We're following our hearts."
He's
in prison now. Why? Because he followed his heart...and that's where your heart
will lead you.
The
Bible says our hearts are deceitful and desperately wicked - no one can know it
(except the One who made it, of course). The Bible also says that without Jesus,
we're dead in our sins.
So
I say to stop following your heart because without Jesus, your heart isn't
beating!
What
you really need to do is follow Jesus - the One who breathes life into dead and
dying hearts. He's the One who will never let you down or lead you astray. And
although following Jesus often goes directly against the feelings and direction
that your heart says to go, His way is the right way, and the one way that
you'll never regret following.
Stop
following your heart and follow Jesus.
The
temporary pleasure is not worth the lasting pain."
