JEREMIAH 17 (The Message)
Link here for Jeremiah 17 (The Message).
As this points out, our natural tendency -- our "heart" -- is to put our trust in man and the things of man. It requires a purposeful transformation to turn that all over and instead focus on God. I have learned in my spiritual journey that that is best done when fully embraced in Christian community. I am sure that their are folks who simply through their own willpower and transformation can walk the Christian walk without the support of others in Christian community but for me it is much easier, and my life seems more effective, when held in community with other followers.
