Default heat issue

ok 97 xj 4.0,, the jeep doesnt over heat at all runs right where its should , the radiator is full, now the issue is if it sits at an idle it only blows cool air from the heater, now when i start driving the heat gets hot like it should,,

Thanks for the help. Any idea as to what I can do to check my heat? I have already changed my thermostat and water pump. Also flushed out the heater core. It seems to be the same.
