Psalm 37:4-5, Jeremiah 17:9-10, John 3:30
You can hear it in the music you listen too, the movies you watch, or even in the books you read...FOLLOW YOUR HEART! It's almost a mantra that is continually repeated. We are encouraged from an early age to follow our heats. You may even hear it in a sermon. Our hearts often mislead us to follow after dreams that are all about personal benefits or personal glory. Our more importantly it is not in God's Will for our lives. That is why shows that promote becoming a star or achieving 15 minutes of fame are so popular because it speaks to a selfish desire. I am not against those who participate on those shows, in fact I am happy for them. But it is the ideological purpose behind the shows I dislike. As you grow your desires will always change, you don't want the same things this year that you did 15 years ago.. As we grow in Christ our desires become more about Him and not about us. Follow after Christ and watch how your heart changes to His. Stay focused, you can do this!
"In His Joy"
