I am constantly intrigued with how often songs, poems, and quotes are written about following your heart. It seems like such a pure thing to do - follow your heart, you'll live life alright. Follow your heart, everything will turn out okay. Your heart knows best. I beg to differ.

Genesis 6:5
The LORD saw how great man's wickedness on the earth had become, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil all the time.

Psalm 58:2
No, in your heart you devise injustice, and your hands mete out violence on the earth.

Psalm 64:6
They plot injustice and say, "We have devised a perfect plan!" Surely the mind and heart of man are cunning.

Psalm 73:7
From their callous hearts comes iniquity ; the evil conceits of their minds know no limits.

Psalm 74:8
They said in their hearts, "We will crush them completely!" They burned every place where God was worshiped in the land.

Matthew 15:19
For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander.

Mark 6:52
for they had not understood about the loaves; their hearts were hardened.

Mark 7:21
For from within, out of men's hearts, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery,

Romans 1:24
Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another.

I'm sorry but I think I've made my point. Our heart really shouldn't be making our decisions for us, because quite obviously it's not always right.

That's really all I have to say for now.
