All that are called of God are to follow Jesus—not their heart.
Ps 116:17 I will offer to Thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the Lord.
“Note, Those whose hearts are truly thankful will express their gratitude in thank-offerings. We must first give our ownselves to God as living sacrifices [I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God-Rom 12 1. And this they did, not as we hoped , but first gave their own selves to the Lord-Cor 8 5], and then lay out of what we have for his honour in works of piety and charity. Doing good and communicating are sacrifices with which God is well pleased [Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that openly profess his name. And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased-Heb 13 15, 16] and this must accompany our giving thanks to his name. If God has been bountiful to us, the least we can do in return is to be bountiful to the poor, [O my soul, thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee {I can not help Thee}; But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight-Ps 16 2, 3]. Why should we offer that to God which costs us nothing? [3.] I will call upon the name of the Lord. This he had promised (v. 2) and here he repeats it, v. 13 and again v. 17. If we have received kindness from a man like ourselves, we tell him that we hope we shall never trouble him again; but God is pleased to reckon [account] the prayers of his people an honour to him, and a delight, and no trouble; and therefore, in gratitude for former mercies, we must seek to him for further mercies, and continue to call upon him.”-Matthew Henry Commentary
