ZK 36:26{Why does God promise this? Because our old hearts are so evil that they cannot be made any better; and so nothing will do any good but giving us a new heart. Because we cannot make a new heart for ourselves; the more we try, the more we shall find we cannot do it; so God, in His great pity and kindness says He will give it to us. Because, unless we have a new heart we cannot enter the kingdom of God, we cannot even see it! Without this gift we must be left outside in the terrible darkness when the door is shut. There is a great difference between the old heart and the new one. The old heart is afraid of God, and does not love Him, and would much rather He were not always seeing us. The new heart loves God and trusts what He says, and loves to think that He is always watching it. Oh, how happy and blessed to have this new heart! All God's children receive it, for He has said, "I will give them one heart"; that is, all the same new heart. Do you not want to have it too? You must come to Him for it, for He hath said, "A new heart also will I give you!”
My heart to Thee I bring, the heart I cannot read;
A faithless, wandering thing, an evil heart indeed.
I bring it, Savior, now to Thee
That fixed and faithful it may be.
