Don’t go with the crowd that says “listen to your heart…it’ll tell you what’s right.” They don’t understand (or maybe don’t care) what God says about it.
Here’s something else to put in your pipe and smoke it. Even if you’re a full-blown atheist, your heart desires God. Even if you’ve never heard of the God of the Bible. Even if you don’t know what the word “God” means. You were created by God. and He put eternity in your heart. Eternity exists because God exists. So, He put the knowledge of Him in your heart.
So, when you DO listen to your heart, listen to the God part.
Sure, you can choose to turn your heart away from God. But that won’t erase your knowledge of eternity. And if you choose not to humble yourself, you’ll choose yourself as god. Then you’ll probably seek out all your heart desires in the things of this world. And you’ll focus on “creation.” Not the Creator. And just like billions of people before you, you’ll commit the original sin of selfishness. Trying to “be like God“. And the Truth is, you’ll never get all your heart desires apart from God.
So, here’s an idea.
Since you’re reading this it means you still have time. It’s not too late. This world is still turning. And you’re still breathing. So try this. Read the Bible. If you don’t want to read the whole Bible, start with the New Testament and read the Epistles of Paul. I guarantee you’ll find a God who loves you so much He was willing to take on human flesh and pay the price for your mistakes. He literally died for you…and me.
If you find a better, truer, more loving God than that, would you contact me and let me know. Because I certainly don’t want to worship a God who just doesn’t measure up. I don’t want to follow some “prophet” who professes a worldview where love doesn’t enter. Tell me if you don’t see a God who wants you to have all your heart desires.
God inspired me to sing…
You put a life
And a will inside my soul.
You knew true love
Would be to give me full control.
But knowing You is all that ever makes me whole.
I trust You because You love…me. (from my song, Because I Can Love) © 2010
