Oh what is this. What is in my heart? I feel a torrent of desires, pursuits and goals that race for control. Which do i heed? Is it really a battle? Do i know the one I will follow and I just want to entertain other ideas? Oh my heart yearns. I want to just follow what it wants. But what is a man who gives into the desires of his heart against the guidance of wisdom? Where is his foundation? Should he run off and pursue the desires of his heart too soon? Or should he wait until the appointed time? Oh but where is the joy when a man denies the desires of his heart for a time? Is this what maturity is? To deny thyself the desires of a heart? No, I am not saying we should throw off all reason and wisdom and pursue things simply for the pursuits of my heart at the detriment of holiness and righteousness. But when the desires of my heart are to glorify and honor Christ through a covenant of joy and blessing then why should I not pursue it?
