Default my heart

I always thought that you should listen to your heart. This is a way that God can talk with you. I have had times listened to it. Its has been wrong. Any ideas on this?

I think it's a bad plan of action. "Listen to your heart" is to me another way of
saying "listen to your emotions" or "listen to yourself(ishness)". Much better
to use your brain, preferably after study and being prayed up.

The saying goes, "Listen to your heart," not "Do whatever your heart tells you to do."

God also gave you a brain. The brain and the heart should BOTH be consulted and the responses from each carefully considered.

My heart initially told me that my husband was "THE ONE." Later on after more experience and consideration, my brain agreed.

Depends on what is in your heart. If its Jesus than you wont go wrong!Your brain will get you in more trouble than you want. Your brain will definately help you make a worldly decision in which we are supposed to do away with. The heart is one of the most important spiritual parts in our body used for storage. Its either full of good or evil and which ever is in it will come out! I have found it very useful to do word searches on issues such as this. I use www.blueletterbible.org Type in the word heart in the search and which translation you want and it will give you every verse with heart in it. Here is the link for the word Heart http://www.blueletterbible.org/search/translationResults.cfm?Criteria=heart&t=NIV&am p;sf=4






Luk6:45


The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For out of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks.

See I sort of going though the same thing with this girl. We meant online everything was going good I really thought this one was going to the next level. I really thought this girl God had sent to me. I didnt get the feeling of a wife or anything at this point. Someone could be more then friends.
I had the same feel my heart was saying go into the family business. At this point everything is going great and I happy and believe thats where serve the Lord.

Just go slowly. Make sure you both fully understand one another and that you both have lots and lots in common. Make sure you both want the same things in life.

See thats the thing she hasnt emailed me for a few days. So I sent one today. I know she read it because this online dating you can tell when they open the email. I am so lost right now. I so thought my heart was telling me this girl is that special someone.

If a person is a Christian, we need to listen to God; and we have the instruction of the Holy Spirit and His Word. God speaks through Scripture, and Christians are guided by the Holy Spirit. The Bible warns about going with our wisdom and/or emotions. If you are a Christian, focus on being the man of God that He wants you to become. Get input fromstrong Christians (men and women - preferably ones who are old enough to be a parent or grandparent). I don't know this woman, what she is like or her intensions. She might be scared, does not want to be more than friends at this time or she may be playing games. Women can be deceitful and play gamesjust like men can be deceitful and play games. You can't control what they do, but you can control what you do.

Remember what I said? Go slowly. Get to know each other. Get to know each other really well. Don't rush.

I've said it before. My husband and I hung out together for five months before we even touched. Every day I would go over to his house and we would talk, go for walks, target practice with both bow and gun, and just sit and read together. When we finally decided to spend the rest of our lives together, we knew everything about each other.

You need to slow down. Control your emotions. Take up rope-jumping zen.

That's what we do

I am with Country1, and DLGon this one, with online dating you aren't sure what you are going to get. And I would hope if she doesn't want a relationship that she would be honest and say it but that's not always the case.

Here is something I learned. Your conscience is the highest moral standard you know. So even though your consience is something that we should listen to we also need to do what we can to gain the knowledge to properly develop your conscience. If you do that then your emotions will start to follow in the same manner. Just think of it like this you can't just take one verse in the bible, you have to take them all, it is the same with your heart and your head they have to be in tune. My heart told me to do a lot of stupid stuff.
