Why GOD Hides In The Hearts
When God created man, man went to him for every small thing, asking him favors, complaining to him about everything. Man would pray for God to come. If God came, he would say, “Don’t come now. Come later. You have come so soon.” If God didn’t come, he would complain, “I have called you so many times and you have come so late.” God grew really tired of this. He wanted to go and hide somewhere, but that was not easily done. He knew man would go to the moon to find him.
At this point God met a wise man. The wise man whispered in God’s ear, “Hide in the heart of man. That is where he never goes.” Since that day, God has hidden in the heart of man. Anyone who goes here will not be able to complain. All complaints will drop away. One person here and there among a million goes to his own heart and finds God. And when a person finds God in his own heart, he has no complaints.

That all very nice.... but God does not go into our heart until we vacate the premises. Without "messiah Jesus" being invited in and going internally into our heart will not find God there. Unfortunately, the "new agers" believe that we all have a spark of divinity we can find inside us and God is always inside each and every one. See where that takes us? We all have divinity inside us and as new agers say - we are devine... we just need to embrace it and accept it... and chant it. ETC. So be careful with these warm fuzzy messages. Sure God hides in our hearts after we invite Him inside. Not before. After... yes he is residing there, when we let him.

(Prov 20:9 NASB) Who can say, "I have cleansed my heart, I am pure from my sin"?
(Prov 24:2 NKJV) For their heart devises violence, And their lips talk of troublemaking.
(Prov 28:26 NKJV) He who trusts in his own heart is a fool, But whoever walks wisely will be delivered.
(Jer 17:9 NKJV) "The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it?
Nicely put, pianoooman.
But that continues to advance the idea that we are separate from God.
We are not. That was the point behind the original post. We keep looking for God "out there" instead of looking for God "inside."
And that's the meaning behind the idea that "we are divine."
