Nothing is more contrary to a heavenly hope than an earthly heart.

The Heart
Neither prayer, not praise, not the hearing of the word will be profitable to those who have left their hearts behind them.
— C. H. Spurgeon
Keep Your Heart
Keep your heart as you would keep a Garden. Your heart is a garden (Song of Solomon 4:12); weed all sin out of your heart. Among the flowers of the heart, weeds will be growing—the weeds of pride, malice, and covetousness: these grow without planting and cultivating. Therefore be weeding your heart daily by prayer, examination, and repentance.
— Thomas Watson
A Divided Heart
A man-pleaser cannot be true to God, because he is a servant to the enemies of his service; the wind of a man’s mouth will drive him about as the chaff, from any duty, and to any sin.
— Richard Baxter
