Highlight: Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.' Mark 12:30
The heart is the center of physical and spiritual being. The heart is the link to connect to God that's why Jesus said you shall love the Lord thy God with all your heart.
Proverbs 4:23; Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.
Looking gentle is not the way to heaven it is your heart. Your heart must not be far to God. Matthew 15:8 - These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.
My son, give me your heart and let your eyes delight in my ways, Proverbs 23:26,
Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
Hebrews 10:22 KJV
The faith that works is linked to a believing heart. Believing heart is linked with faith. (Not thinking that spiritual things are planned out or how it will be planned) A believing heart is linked with faith that works. A believing heart is a productive heart.
Pray to be productive.
Different Kinds of Heart

3 Evil heart cf Jeremiah 7:24, & Heb 3:12, A heart that never believe but walk in his own imagination.
