You hear the famous quote "Follow your heart" from Napolean Dynomite. We all follow after something. We choose what it will be filled with--cars, homes, stuff, people but it gets filled. The difference is what you choose to fill it with. There is only one thing than can fill it and keep you satisfied--God and only God--everything else will keep you unfulfilled. God created us with an inner desire for Him. Our heart becomes divided when we choose other things over God. Ezekiel 11:19 says, I will give them an undivided heart and put a new spirit in them; I will remove from them their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh.
You will remain unfulfilled if you choose to give God half-hearted worship. Any area of your life that is closed off to people is closed off to God. I had closed off certain areas of my heart to 'protect' me over the years and continued to worship God but could not fully worship Him wholly. As God has restored me I have found that He has enlarged my heart and worship has taken on a whole new meaning for me. As a result, I now find myself overwhelmed with emotion as I've given Him my heart fully.
Ezekiel 36:26 says, I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. I can truly say that I have a new heart and a new spirit within me. I don't have to tell anyone--they can see it in my actions, my smile, my demeanor.
Allow God to do heart surgery on you--His transplants are always successful and well worth it!
