Don’t follow your heart: remember Paul

"Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ." – 1 Corinthians 11:1

Here is one of my favorite Bible characters who used to follow his heart, thinking he was following the will of God, until the day he encountered Him who gave him a new heart. He followed his heart when he persecuted the followers of Jesus. However, when he himself became a follower of Jesus, he followed only the Word of God. He was able to testify: "I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. The life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me." (Galatians 2:20)
