The heart is a marvelous thing. It is created by God, for God. Our heart was designed to worship God.
However, sin damages our hearts, deadens our conscience, darkens our understanding and mind and warps our desires. It enslaves the will, clouds our judgment and alienates us from God.
There is cleansing. Through repentance, confession, acquaintance and fellowship with God, the heart is changed and recreated into the likeness of Him who loved us and died for us. Now we have a new heart with new desires and longings. Through having a love for Truth and experiencing God’s love in our hearts we can have a heart for God.
