Ping!
A resounding YES!
See Romans 10:9.
we're already in His heart.
WE'RE the ones that have the option to choose or refuse.
Christ refuses no one.
WHY would The One that made us, loves us, will never forsake us need or want us to ask Him if He will let us in?
Nay ... WE must open OUR hearts and ask Him into ours.
The poem is from a sonnet in Sir Philip Sidney’s “Arcadia.”
But I must admit it does fit the subject here.
This brief vignette is amazing only in that neither participant knew what God teaches in His Holy Bible about salvation - nor does the article use a single inspired verse to inform. instead, we are treated to a manmade art object as a substitute for His truth. Astounding!
Yes. It is a good thing. Interesting though, the Bible of course states to “believe” but it never mentions the actual “accept Jesus in to your heart”.
I just corrected my wife on this one. The bible says nothing about accepting Him into your heart, it says to believe.
The only other time this word for "desire" is found in the Bible is in Gen. 3:16, when Eve is told that she will have desire for her husband, and the word תְּשׁוּקָתֹֽו has the implication of a craving (the word in Haggai's "desire of the nations" is different, meaning something pleasant to desire). We belong to Him because of the price He paid to redeem us from death and the power of the devil, but He craves us, and will move heaven and earth to be with us; it is never His fault that we have sclerokardia and would rather go our own way.

Yes.
Yeshua took us all into his heart the night that he allowed the Roman soldiers to take him.
The real question is “Have you taken Yeshua at his word(s)?”
Matthew 7:21
“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.”
