Tough Choice!

"Follow your heart" This is the most common line I have been told every time I had to make a big decision. Really? Follow my heart? It always feels good doesn't it when we take that advise but most of the times we end up in a place/ situation  where we make a resolution to NEVER follow our hearts again. Then we end up following our hearts the next time we are faced with the same choice and end up wishing we had stuck to the resolution.It becomes a cycle.
I can't even count the number of times I have been in this roller coaster where I follow my heart and over and over again wishing I had followed my head instead. As humans we are used to going with what feels good at the moment at times never taking time to look at the consequences. We do this a lot when making decisions concerning our lives especially our love lives and friendships.

Sure! It sounds like the best advise after all, Love is felt in the heart so it always feels like we are making the right decision and the best choice we could ever make. Little do we forget that:

Jeremiah 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?

We are warned about the heart being deceitful, and this is probably why we end up regretting these decisions. Because we make them based on what we FEEL and not what  GOD requires of us, we end up rushing into relationships which God never wanted us to be in  in the first place, we end up opening up to destructive friendships maybe because we felt lonely at the moment or left out. We end up making financial decisions that we regret maybe because we were angry, sad or excited at the moment. We simply never took time to get down on our knees and ask God about what He wanted!
 We rush through LIFE without ever really consulting the one who gave us LIFE. Maybe for a moment if we would take time and really sat at His feet and let Him lead us, we would save a lot of time and energy as we would no longer pursue things that will leave us with a lot of regret.
Is it a business idea that you want? Stop running around in confusion trying this and that and failing, sit and rest at His feet and let Him reveal it to you, Is it a spouse/lover that you want? He created you so He already had in mind who He would pair you up with so stop running around looking, God will reveal him/her to you at the right time in the mean time enjoy your singleness by serving Him. Is it a job? Hey! He is the sole provider He takes care of every single detail of our lives, He knows every strand of hair you have so relax He has you and knows what you need. 
Whatever it may be remember DON'T FOLLOW YOUR HEART instead live in obedience and FOLLOW GOD.
