Who really knows how bad it is? Jeremiah 17.9

Get ready to be blown away! Guess what this verse is pertaining to?
Your heart. My heart . The human heart. I was taught somewhere along the way that people are basically good. That's not what the Word of God says. " The human heart is the most deceitful of all things, and desperately wicked. Who really knows how bad it is?
There are so many verses in the Bible that describe our hearts; "Sin whispers to the wicked, deep within their hearts. They have no fear of God at all. In their blind conceit, they cannot see how wicked they really are. Everything they say is crooked and deceitful. They refuse to act wisely or do good. They lie awake at night, hatching sinful plots. Their actions are never good. They make no attempt to turn from evil." Psalm 36.1-4.
I guess I could say that we all have a heart condition . What really changes our hearts? Renewing our minds. How do we renew our minds? Reading the Word , communicating with the Father,  being thankful for what God has done and continues to do for us,  lifting our voice in praise to Him everyday, not just when we need or want something...that is a good start! Does it work? I'd say! Keep reading Psalm 36 down to vs. 9: "For You are the fountain of life, the light by which we see." Psalm 37. 23-24: The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives. Though they stumble, they will never fall, for the Lord holds them by the hand."
God never ceases to amaze me. He is the heart changer!
