Give Me Your Heart
(Arthur W. Pink)
"Man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart." (1 Samuel 16:7)
"My son, give Me your heart." (Proverbs 23:26)
A "willing" heart (Exodus 35:5)--which acts spontaneously and gladly, not out of necessity.
A "perfect" heart (1 Chronicles 29:9)--sincere, genuine, upright.
A "tender" heart (2 Chronicles 34:27)--yielding and pliable, the opposite of hard and stubborn.
A "broken" heart (Psalm 34:18)--sorrowing over all failure and sin.
A "united" heart (Psalm 86:11)--all the affections centered on God.
An "enlarged" heart (Psalm 119:32)--delighting in every part of Scripture, and loving all God's people.
A "sound" heart (Proverbs 14:30)--right in both doctrine and practice.
A "merry" heart (Proverbs 15:15)--rejoicing in the Lord always.
A "pure" heart (Matthew 5:8)--hating all evil.
An "honest and good heart" (Luke 8:15)--free from deceit and hypocrisy, willing to be searched through and through by the Word.
A "single" heart (Ephesians 6:5)--desiring only God's glory.
A "true" heart (Hebrews 10:22)--genuine in all its dealings with God.
"Above all else, guard your heart, for it affects everything you do." (Proverbs 4:23)
