It is apparent that this is one of the most important parts of our humanity to God! Because God knows the condition of your condition, e.g., your heart, we cannot hide our true intent from Him. It is important for us to tap into what God's Word has to say and give pause. Also note, the heart is the most vital organ in your body. Without its constant beat - you will die.
