Today, we will be discussing the LAST and FINAL HEART in this parable. This heart we will call the “OPEN HEART”. We will do an “open heart surgery” so that we can dissect what kind of a heart this is and determine its characteristics. At the outset, let me say that this is the kind of heart that GOD SEEKS.
