Got Heart Trouble?

God warns us in Jeremiah 17:9 that “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it?” This is hard for us to reconcile since our culture encourages us to ‘follow your heart’ in every situation. Have you ever felt your heart deceive you, proving to be hard and uncaring upon occasion? I have. How is your heart today? Have you ever hardened your heart out of self-protection from hurt, or from fear or even from judging another harshly? If so, God has a remedy for us all.
