The old hymn got it wrong:
Let Thy  goodness, like a fetter,
Bind my wandering heart to Thee.
Prone to wander,  Lord, I feel it,
Prone to leave the God I love.
~ Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing
 
Because Christ has rescued your heart:
- Your heart is no longer prone to wander.
 
- God the Father doesn't wear 'Jesus glasses'.
 
- Your sin is no longer you.
 
- You do love God with all heart.
 
- There is no difference between the purity of Jesus' heart and yours now.
