    If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me” (Jeremiah 29:13, emphasis added). God is not interested in part of your heart. He desires for you to pursue Him with all your heart. Giving Him only part of your heart is the same as giving Him part of your cancer. The rest of it is still going to kill you.
