WE ALL FOLLOW SOMETHING
I. ONE OF CHRIST’S FIRST INSTRUCTIONS WAS ONE OF TELLING OTHERS TO “FOLLOW” HIM.
Matthew 4:19
And He *said to them, “ Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.”
TO “FOLLOW” WAS ONE OF THE FIRST CALLS OR COMMANDS OF DISCIPLESHIP.
YET TODAY, QUITE OFTEN WE SEE PROFESSED CHRISTIANS AND MINISTERS LAYING OUT THEIR OWN PLANS AND DIRECTIONS WITH AN EXPECTATION THAT GOD SHOULD BLESS THEM AND IN ESSENCE THEY ARE SAYING TO JESUS…”NO, YOU FOLLOW ME.”
SOME PROFESSED CHRISTIANS HAVE IT ALL BACKWARDS….MINISTERS TOO. THEY HAVE JESUS ON A LEASH JUST LIKE A LITTLE DOG. THEY EXPECT THE LORD TO DO THEIR BIDDING WITH UNQUESTIONABLE OBEDIENCE. “COME HERE, JESUS! SIT JESUS! DO THIS AND DO THAT, JESUS! GOOD JESUS! OH, YOU WON’T DO WHAT I TELL YOU? THEN YOU ARE A BAD, BAD BOY! BAD JESUS! I AM MAD AT YOU JESUS BECAUSE YOU CROSSED ME AND WON’T DO WHAT I WANT!” SOUNDS FUNNY? YES, AND ALTHOUGH THIS EXAMPLE IS VERY GRAPHIC, IT IS ALSO VERY TRUE. THERE IS NO SARCASM INTENDED….IT IS JUST THE PLAIN TRUTH. MANY CHRISTIANS HAVE FORGOTTEN “WHO” EXACTLY IS IN CHARGE AND WHO IT IS WHO SHOULD BE FOLLOWING WHOM.
II. THE DEFINING MARK OF ANY TRUE DISCIPLE OF JESUS AS THAT WE “FOLLOW HIM”.
Matthew 4:20
Immediately they left their nets and followed Him.
Matthew 4:22
Immediately they left the boat and their father, and followed Him.
Matthew 8:22
But Jesus *said to him, “ Follow Me, and allow the dead to bury their own dead.”
Matthew 8:21-23 (in Context) Matthew 8 (Whole Chapter)
Matthew 8:23
When He got into the boat, His disciples followed Him.
Matthew 8:22-24 (in Context) Matthew 8 (Whole Chapter)
Matthew 9:9
[ Matthew Called ] As Jesus went on from there, He saw a man called Matthew, sitting in the tax collector’s booth; and He *said to him, “ Follow Me!” And he got up and followed Him.
John 10:27
My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me;
1 Peter 2:21
[ Christ Is Our Example ] For you have been called for this purpose, since Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example for you to follow in His steps,
III. FOLLOWING JESUS REQUIRES ABSOLUTE SACRIFICE AND COMMITMENT
Matthew 10:38
And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me.
A. IF WE ARE NOT WILLING TO DIE ON THE CROSS TO SELF AND FOLLOW THE LORD, WE ARE NOT EVEN CONSIDERED WORTHY OF HIM.
Matthew 16:24
[ Discipleship Is Costly ] Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me.
B. AGAIN, JESUS EMPHASIZES THAT TO “FOLLOW HIM” MEANS SELF DENIAL.
C. WHAT I AM FINDING IN MANY CHURCHES, AMONG MANY MEMBERS AS WELL, UNFORTUNATELY, AS AMONG MANY PREACHERS & MINISTERS IS QUITE TROUBLING. THERE IS THIS DESIRE TO CALL ONESELF A “CHRISTIAN” AND TO “WEAR THE LABEL” SO-TO-SPEAK WITHOUT “DOING THE WORK”. THEY WANT TO DO IT THEIR WAY, DO THEIR OWN THING, WORK FOR THEIR OWN INTERESTS AND GOALS….AND MINISTRIES….BUT DO IT THEIR OWN WAY. THEY WANT TO BE THE LEADER AND HAVE THIS IDEA THAT JESUS SHOULD JUST FOLLOW BY BLESSING THEIR PLANS. YET JESUS IS SAYING THAT WE NEED TO LAY SELF ALONG WITH SELF FOCUS OR SELFISH DESIRES DOWN AND INSTEAD SEEK HIS WILL AND THEN FOLLOW HIM.
Matthew 19:21
Jesus said to him, “If you wish to be complete, go and sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.”
D. IN ORDER TO BE “COMPLETE” WE MUST FOLLOW HIM…NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND.
E. TO FOLLOW CHRIST ALSO MEANS THAT OUR POSSESSIONS…THE THINGS WE TREASURE ON THIS EARTH…THE THINGS WE OWN OR ASPIRE TO OWN AND GAIN IN THIS LIFE, OUR FORMS OF RECREATION, HOBBIES….OUR JOBS TOO…MUST ALL BECOME SECONDARY TO “FOLLOWING HIM” AND PUTTING JESUS FIRST.
I KNOW IT IS A CONTRAVERSIAL STATEMENT I AM ABOUT TO MAKE FOR SOME, BUT EVEN FAMILY HAS TO TAKE A SECONDARY PLACE TO OUR PERSONAL WORSHIP, DEVOTION AND PARTICULARLY OUR RELATIONSHIP TO JESUS CHRIST. DO NOT GET ME WRONG...WE DO NOT "NEGLECT" OUR FAMILY AND PARTICULARLY OUR RESPONSIBILITIES TO THEM SUCH AS SUPPORT, PROVIDING, FATHERHOOD OR MOTHERHOOD, OR OUR RESPONSIBILITIES AS HUSBANDS AND WIVES TO ONE ANOTHER. HOWEVER, THERE CERTAINLY IS A WAY WE CAN DO ALL OF THOSE THINGS AND YET STILL ALLOW JESUS CHRIST TO HAVE THE PREEMINENT PLACE IN OUR HEARTS. HE IS TO BE WORSHIPED ABOVE ALL THINGS AND ABOVE ALL PEOPLE. WE CANNOT ALLOW OR MAKE PEOPLE AND RELATIONSHIPS TO BECOME "IDOLS" IN OUR LIVES. JESUS MADE THE STATEMENT THAT ESSENTIALLY IN COMPARISION TO OUR LOVE FOR HIM, ONE MUST "HATE" THEIR FATHER AND MOTHER. (LUKE 14:26) ON THE SURFACE THIS SOUNDS EXTREMELY HARSH. HOWEVER, JESUS WAS NOT ACTUALLY ADVOCATING THAT WE HATE AND DISREGARD OUR PARENTS. FAR BE IT FROM THAT AS WE ARE TOLD TO HONOR OUR PARENTS IN THE LORD. BUT THE PHRASE "IN THE LORD" MUST BE EMPHASIZED HERE AND ALSO WE MUST UNDERSTAND THAT JESUS WAS SIMPLY SAYING THAT "IN COMPARISON" TO YOUR LOVE FOR HIM YOU MUST "HATE" YOUR PARENTS. THERE IS NO CONTRADICTION IN SCRIPTURE HERE. THIS SIMPLY MEANS THAT OUR LOVE FOR CHRIST HAS TO FAR EXCEED OUR LOVE AND DEVOTION TO EVEN THE CLOSEST HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS WE CAN HAVE WITH OTHERS....AND THERE ARE GENERALLY NO CLOSER RELATIONSHIPS THAN WITH FAMILY. AGAIN, LET ME BE PERFECTLY CLEAR IN THIS MATTER. JESUS IS NOT ADVOCATING THAT WE BE DISRESPECTFUL, UNFAITHFUL, IRRESPONSIBLE, UNLOVING, UNKIND OR THAT WE ABANDON FAMILY AND FAMILY RESPONSIBILITIES. TO THE CONTRAY, THE BIBLE TELLS US THAT GOD IS LOVE. SO CONSEQUENTLY, WHEN WE LOVE GOD TO THE FULLEST, WE WILL NATURALLY HAVE EVEN GREATER COMPASSION AND LOVE...THE LOVE OF GOD HIMSELF...FOR OUR FAMILY MEMBERS.
SOME PSEUDO-CHRISTIAN GROUPS AND CULTS USE THE SCRIPTURES I HAVE REFERRED TO IN ORDER TO PERVERT THE TEACHINGS OF CHRIST AND THEY ADVOCATE ALIENATION, ABANDONMENT AND DISRESPECT OF CLOSE FAMILY MEMBERS IN ORDER TO CREATE A SEPARATION SO THAT THE LEADERS OF SUCH A GROUP CAN STEP IN AND GAIN CONTROL OVER THEIR GROUP MEMBER'S LIVES. TO DO THIS IS A PERVERSION AND SPIRITUAL COUNTERFIET OF GOD'S TRUTH AND HIS WORD.
WE WANT TO BE PERFECTLY CLEAR ON THIS MATTER. I NEVER ADVOCATE REBELLION AGAINST FAMILY OR DISRESPECT. THERE MAY, HOWEVER, BE TIMES THAT A FAMILY MEMBER MAY INSIST YOU DO SOMETHING THAT IS CONTRARY TO HOLY SCRIPTURE AND TO THE COMMANDMENTS OF CHRIST AND IF SOMETHING SO UNFORTUNATE WERE TO OCCUR, THE RIGHT THING TO DO IS, OBVIOUSLY IN LOVE, EXPLAIN YOUR POSITION, BE RESPECTFUL BUT PUT THE LORD FIRST. THESE SITUATIONS REQUIRE GREAT LOVE AND WISDOM. THE POSITION I ADVOCATE IS THE BIBLICAL POSITION OF SIMPLY PLACING CHRIST FIRST IN ALL THINGS. THERE IS A SAYING THAT THE ORDER OF OUR PRIORITIES SHOULD ALWAYS BE AS FOLLOWS:
1). GOD
2). YOUR FAMILY
3). YOUR JOB
4). YOUR CHURCH
I HOPE THAT THIS WILL HELP SOME OF YOU WHO HAVE TO SET PRIORITIES AND MAKE DECISIONS IN THESE MATTERS. THIS ALSO IS WHY BEING EQUALLY YOKED IN MARRIAGE IS SO MUCH EASIER THAN HAVING A BELIEVER AND UNBELIEVER DATE AND THEN MARRY. IN RELATIONSHIPS THAT EVENTUALLY LEAD TO MARRIAGE, HAVING EQUAL DEDICATION IN THE LORD MAKES THE LIKLIHOOD MUCH GREATER THAT A COUPLE WILL SUCCEED AND NOT ENCOUNTER AREAS OF CONFLICT IN THEIR PRIORITIES LATER IN LIFE THAT SO OFTEN LEAD TO SEPARATION OR DIVORCE.
Matthew 19:28
And Jesus said to them, “Truly I say to you, that you who have followed Me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man will sit on His glorious throne, you also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
F. TO FOLLOW JESUS IS A RICH LIFE FULL OF REWARDS IN HEAVEN FOR ALL OF US, JUST AS IT WAS FOR JESUS ORGINAL 12 DISCIPLES.
Matthew 27:55
Many women were there looking on from a distance, who had followed Jesus from Galilee while ministering to Him.
G. TO "MINISTER" TO JESUS IS A FORM OF WORSHIP. FOLLOWING JESUS AND “WORSHIP” ALWAYS GO HAND IN HAND. IF SOMEONE SAYS THEY ARE A “FOLLOWER” AND YET THEY DO NOT WORSHIP THE LORD, THEN IN REALITY THERE IS PROBABLY A PROBLEM AND DISCONNECTION SOMEWHERE IN THEIR WALK WITH THE LORD. THE BIBLE TELLS US THAT GOD DESIRES THOSE WHO WORSHIP HIM IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH. WE WERE CREATED TO FOLLOW AND TO WORSHIP. THE TWO GO HAND IN HAND TOGETHER. WE MUST LEARN TO WORSHIP THE LORD IN OUR PRIVATE DEVOTIONS AS WELL AS IN THE CHURCH.
IV. THE BIBLE TELLS US THAT AS THE LAST DAYS INCREASE PEOPLE ON THE EARTH WILL CEASE TO FOLLOW THE LORD JESUS AND INSTEAD FOLLOW AFTER OTHER THINGS, INCLUDING THE WRONG PEOPLE AND UNSOUND DOCTRINE…EVEN THE DEVIL HIMSELF.
Acts 5:36
For some time ago Theudas rose up, claiming to be somebody, and a group of about four hundred men joined up with him. But he was killed, and all who followed him were dispersed and came to nothing.
Acts 5:37
After this man, Judas of Galilee rose up in the days of the census and drew away some people after him; he too perished, and all those who followed him were scattered.
- HERE THE SCRIPTURES SHOW US THAT THERE WILL ALWAYS BE THOSE WHO WALK IN ERROR AND DRAW PEOPLE AFTER THEMSELVES. THOSE WHO FOLLOW AFTER THE WRONG THING, WRONG PERSON, WRONG DOCTRINE END UP LOST, CONFUSED AND WORSE. WE MUST FOLLOW AFTER THE LORD AND CORRECT TEACHING ONLY.
Philippians 3:17
Brethren, join in following my example, and observe those who walk according to the pattern you have in us.
2 Thessalonians 3:7
For you yourselves know how you ought to follow our example, because we did not act in an undisciplined manner among you,
2 Timothy 3:10
Now you followed my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, patience, love, perseverance,
1 Timothy 4:6
[ A Good Minister’s Discipline ] In pointing out these things to the brethren, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, constantly nourished on the words of the faith and of the sound doctrine which you have been following.
1 Peter 2:21
[ Christ Is Our Example ] For you have been called for this purpose, since Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example for you to follow in His steps,
- WE ARE, INSTEAD, TO FOLLOW GODLY LEADERS AND THEIR EXAMPLES AND TO FOLLOW SOUND DOCTRINE…TO FOLLOW EVEN CHRIST’S EXAMPLES OURSELVES!
1 Timothy 5:15
for some have already turned aside to follow Satan.
- WHILE WE ARE EXHORTED AND COMMANDED TO FOLLOW THE LORD, SOME WILL “TURN ASIDE” AND FOLLOW SATAN HIMSELF. THIS IS ADDRESSED TO CHRISTIANS. YOU CANNOT “TURN ASIDE” UNLESS YOU WERE ONCE ON THE RIGHT PATH. THEREFORE WE NEED TO BE AWARE.
Hebrews 4:11
Therefore let us be diligent to enter that rest, so that no one will fall, through following the same example of disobedience.
- SOME WILL FALL BY FOLLOWING THE WRONG THING….INSTEAD OF FOLLOWING JESUS THEY WILL FOLLOW A COURSE OF DISOBENDIENCE THAT CAN DESTROY THEM AND THEIR WALK. WE MUST FOLLOW THE LORD AND NOTHING ELSE.
2 Peter 2:2
Many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of the truth will be maligned;
- MANY….WILL FOLLOW SENSUALITY, LUST OF THE FLESH INSTEAD OF JESUS. THIS SCRIPTURE SAYS THAT “BECAUSE OF THEM” THE TRUTH WILL BE MALIGNED. SO WHO ARE WE TALKING ABOUT HERE? I BELIEVE PETER WAS STATING THIS NOT ONLY IN REFERENCE TO THOSE WHO ARE OUTSIDE OF THE CHURCH BUT TO MANY WITHIN THE CHURCH WHO WILL PROFESS CHRIST OPENLY AND YET IN SECRET FOLLOW THE LUST OF THE FLESH. HOW CAN “THE TRUTH” BE MALIGNED UNLESS IT IS THOSE WHO WALK IN HYPOCRISY THAT DO IT? THEY STATE THEY ARE CHRISTIANS AND YET LIVE UNHOLY AND COMPROMISING LIVES. KEEP IN MIND THAT MOST OF THE WRITINGS AFTER THE FOUR GOSPELS OF MATTHEW, MARK, LUKE AND JOHN WERE DIRECTED TO THE CHURCH.
2 Peter 2:15
forsaking the right way, they have gone astray, having followed the way of Balaam, the son of Beor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;
- AGAIN, WE SEE EXAMPLES AND WARNING OF THOSE WHO WERE ONCE APPARENT BELIEVERS…PEOPLE ON THE RIGHT PATH WHO “FORSOOK THE RIGHT WAY” AND INSTEAD DECIDED TO FOLLOW THE WAY OF BALAAM. TO EXPLAIN, BALAAM WAS A FALSE PROPHET. HE LOVED MONEY SO MUCH THAT HE WAS WILLING TO SELL OUT OTHERS OF THE FAITH IN ORDER TO MAKE A FINANCIAL PROFIT. HE SPOKE DECEIVING WORDS IN ORDER TO DERIVE INCOME…NOT CARING WHETHER WHAT HE SAID WAS RIGHT OR WRONG. TODAY THERE ARE “SELLOUTS” IN OUR PULPITS WHO HAVE COMPROMISED THE MESSAGE OF THE CROSS AND CHRIST, SPEAKING THE WORDS THAT TICKLE AND ARE PLEASING TO THE EARS OF LISTERNERS EVEN IF THEY ARE NOT THE TRUTH. THEY WATER DOWN THE GOSPEL, TAKE OUT ANYTHING OFFENSIVE AND PREACH FALSE DOCTRINE…MISLEADING OTHERS SO THAT NO ONE WILL BECOME OFFENDED AND NO ONE WILL LEAVE THEIR CHURCH. WHY? BECAUSE MINISTRY FOR THEM HAS BECOME ALL ABOUT MONEY AND THEY NO LONGER HAVE THE LORD’S INTERESTS IN MIND. THEY ARE SELLOUTS…SELLING THEIR OWN SOULS AND YOURS TOO, IF YOU LISTEN TO THEM, IN ORDER TO MAKE A DOLLAR OR GAIN AN AUDIENCE.
2 Peter 3:3
[ The Coming Day of the Lord ] Know this first of all, that in the last days mockers will come with their mocking, following after their own lusts,
- HERE WE SEE THAT “IN THE LAST DAYS”…DAYS THAT WE ARE IN NOW…THERE WILL BE MOCKERS. THESE MOCKERS ARE PEOPLE WHO PUT DOWN, WHO CRITICIZE, WHO MAKE COMICAL AND INSULTING FUN OF GOD, TRUE CHRISTIANS AND ALL THINGS THAT ARE HOLY. INSTEAD THEY FOLLOW AFTER THEIR OWN LUSTS. WE NOW CAN SEE THIS EVERYDAY IN THE NEWSPAPERS, ON TV AND IN SOCIETY AS A WHOLE. AND THE SAD THING ABOUT IT ALL IS THAT MANY CHURCH-GOING CHRISTIANS IGNORANTLY SIT IN FRONT OF THEIR TELEVISIONS OR ATTEND SUCH EVENTS, LAUGHING OUT LOUD AS THEIR OWN LORD AND SAVIOR, GODLY LIFESTYLE AND THINGS ONCE REVERED AS BEING "HOLY" ARE MALIGNED AND MADE FUN OF!
Jude 1:15-17 (New American Standard Bible)
15(A)to execute judgment upon all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their ungodly deeds which they have done in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which (B)ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.” 16 These are (C)grumblers, finding fault, (D)following after their own lusts; [a]they speak (E)arrogantly, flattering people (F)for the sake of gaining an advantage.
Keep Yourselves in the Love of God
17 But you, (G)beloved, (H)ought to remember the words that were spoken beforehand by (I)the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ,
- THERE WILL BE THOSE WHO SPEAK OUT HARSHLY AGAINST JESUS…AGAINST GOD. THEY WILL BE GRUMBLERS AND COMPLAINERS, FINDING FAULT WITH EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE WHO WEARS THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST UPON THEIR HEARTS. THEY WILL BE LUSTFUL, INDULGING IN THE CARES OF THIS LIFE, THE FLESH, WORLDLINESS….AND AT THE SAME TIME TRYING TO FLATTER YOU AND TELL YOU EVERYTHING YOU WANT TO HEAR…WALKING IN TOTAL ARROGANCE AGAINST GOD AND HIS WORD…WITH THE SOLE MOTIVATION OF PULLING YOU AWAY FROM THE LORD. I SEE THIS HAPPEN OFTEN WHEN SOME GOD-SEEKING WOMAN OR MAN IS SITTING IN THE CHURCH TRYING TO DO THE WILL OF THE LORD AND SOME DEVIL IN PANTS OR A DRESS COMES ALONG AND TRIES TO LURE THAT PERSON RIGHT OUT OF THE CHURCH SO THEY CAN INDULGE IN THEIR FLESHLY DESIRES. THAT IS JUST ONE EXAMPLE AND YET THERE ARE SO MANY OTHERS WAYS IT CAN HAPPEN. BE CAREFUL WHO AND WHAT YOU LISTEN TO. INSTEAD FOLLOW AFTER THE WORD OF THE LORD, GOOD TEACHING AND GODLY LEADERS.
V. WE MUST WAKE UP TO REALIZE THAT IN THESE LAST DAYS WE ARE LIVING IN THERE WILL BE A GREAT FALLING AWAY FROM THE FAITH. MANY PEOPLE WHO ATTENDED CHURCH WILL LEAVE. SOME WILL ATTEND AND SIT RIGHT NEXT TO YOU AND YET THEIR HEARTS WILL BE AS FAR AWAY FROM GOD AS HELL IS FROM HEAVEN. THEY WILL TRADE IN THEIR BIBLES FOR “DOCTRINES OF DEMONS” AND “SPIRITS OF DECEIT”. THERE ARE SOME WHO SEEM TO WANT TO BE DECEIVED ON PURPOSE INSTEAD OF LISTENING TO AND WALKING IN THE TRUTH OF GOD’S WORD. THEIR CONSCIENCE WILL BE SEARED UNTIL THEY NO LONGER HAVE A CONSCIENCE AT ALL AND THEY WILL BE GIVEN OVER TO REPROBATE MINDS, AS THE BIBLE TELLS US. WHAT A SAD STATE IT WILL BE FOR SOME WHO ONCE HEARD AND KNEW THE TEACHINGS OF CHRIST TO TURN THEIR BACKS AND WALK SO FAR AWAY THAT THEY NEVER COME BACK. IT WILL NOT BE THAT GOD WOULD NOT TAKE THEM BACK IF THEY REPENTED BUT THAT THEY WILL HARDEN THEIR HEARTS TO AN EXTENT THEY ABSOLUTELY DO NOT CARE OR EVER WANT TO RETURN TO THE LORD. GOD NEVER FORCES HIS WILL ON ANYONE.
TODAY AS I SPEAK, HELL IS FULL OF PEOPLE WHO HEARD THE TRUTH BUT REJECTED IT. TODAY, THERE ARE NO UNBELIEVERS IN HELL. THEY ALL BELIEVE NOW. YET IT IS TOO LATE FOR THEM TO EVER COME BACK AND HAVE A SECOND CHANCE IN THIS LIFE. THEY ARE LOST AND DAMNED FOR ETERNITY WITH NO WAY OUT. IT IS BETTER FOR YOU AND I TO UNDERSTAND THIS AND MAKE THE VERY MOST OF OUR LIVES IN THE LORD WHILE WE ARE HERE ON THIS EARTH. THE BIBLE REFERS TO THIS GREAT "APOSTASY" OR FALLING AWAY FROM THE FAITH, AS FOLLOWS:
1 Timothy 4:1-3 (New American Standard Bible)
1 Timothy 4
Apostasy
1 But (A)the Spirit explicitly says that (B)in later times some will [a]fall away from the faith, paying attention to (C)deceitful spirits and (D)doctrines of demons, 2 by means of the hypocrisy of liars (E)seared in their own conscience as with a branding iron, 3men who (F)forbid marriage and advocate (G)abstaining from foods which (H)God has created to be (I)gratefully shared in by those who believe and know the truth.
THE QUESTION TODAY IS FOR YOU, “WHAT ARE YOU FOLLOWING?’"
“WHO ARE YOU FOLLOWING”?
“WHERE IS YOUR LIFE GOING?”
“WHAT ROAD ARE YOU ON?”
WILL YOU FOLLOW THE LORD?”
MAY THE LORD BLESS THIS WORD TO YOUR HEARTS.
