The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately sick; who can understand it?
Jeremiah 17:9
In the world, over and over again we are told to follow our hearts. But isn't following your heart just another way of doing what you desire? Does it mean that if you feel like lying that you should? Or maybe stealing something because your heart told you to? Is that the right way of thinking? Should we really be letting our hearts lead us into its own ways? If we our trying to let God lead us then the best way is his way. So instead of following our own wicked hearts, God says that we should follow him. Through him comes all great power, no human can ever replace his favor and approval. In this we must strive for his pleasure and all abiding rule.
As for God, his way is perfect.
2 Samuel 22:31

Excellent thoughts!
Amazing insight for one so young! You are absolutely right. We need to follow God, not ourselves.
Preach it!
