Physiologically, the heart is the most important part of the human body
Spiritually - the heart is also the most important part of the whole person

the human soul can also be abused and beaten

NKJV - the issues of life
CSB - it is the source of life
NLT - it determines the course of life

NCV - your thoughts run your life
The heart is the fountain of all our actions
Filling the Heart with Good Things

The aim of the book of Book of Proverbs is the “heart” of man - to fill it with words of wisdom.
