The heart in Scripture is considered the
very center and core of our life. Charles
Ryrie The heart is the innermost part of the
human personality, the center of those qualities
that make us human. James Houston The use
of the Bible term heart is best understood by
simply saying me. Oswald Chambers

• it would seem that Our Lord finds our desires
  not too strong, but too weak. We are
  half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink
  and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered
  us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on
  making mud pies in a slum because he cannot
  imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday
  at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.
• C.S. Lewis
