Truth engages the citadel of the human heart and is not satisfied until it has conquered everything there.1
——
Keep your heart open to the correction of the Lord and be ready to receive His chastisement regardless of who holds the whip.2
——
The Spirit of God never promised to fill a man’s head. The promise is that God will fill the heart or man’s innermost being.3
——
The human heart is idolatrous and will worship anything it can possess. Therein lies the danger of the “good” things. We have surrendered evil things, bad things, but we hold on to the good things and these we are prone to worship. Whatever we refuse to surrender and count but loss we will ultimately worship. It may be something good, but it gets between you and God—whether it be property or family or reputation or security or your life itself.4
——
The things that are closest to our hearts are the things we talk about, and if God is close to your heart, you will talk about Him!5
