A person with a perfect heart is always growing spiritually.

You're never satisfied to say, well, I'm good enough.

I'm Joyce Meyer and I believe that God can heal you everywhere you hurt.

What is the heart?

Well, if you look up the definition of heart

in the Vine's expository dictionary of old and New Testament words.

That's back to the Hebrew and the Greek. It says that the heart is the chief organ of physical life for the life of the flesh is in the blood.

So our heart pumps our blood and if it stops, life ceases.

So it is the most important organ, physical organ that we have.

It occupies the most important place in the human system.

By an easy transition the word came to stand for man's entire mental and moral activity.

So, when the mental and moral activity.

So when the Bible says the heart,

it's really talking about the entire inner man. It's talking about your thoughts, attitudes,

the things we say, our desires,

everything about us.

In other words, the heart is used figuratively for the hidden springs of the personal life.

The Bible describes human depravity as being in the heart because sin is a principle which has its seat in the center of man's

inward life and then defiles the whole circuit of his action.

But First Peter says that he'd been talking about how women should not

adorn themselves with fancy clothes and a lot of fancy jewelry.
