15. Why focus on the heart? Man is more concerned about behavior.
God is more concerned about the heart.
Behavior is external. Heart is internal.
The heart is the root; the behavior is the fruit.
Lasting change takes place in the heart.
HEART WORK IS HARD WORK .
DR. Gordon Neufeld, a foremost child developmental and clinical psychologist from Canada – “When did your child fall in love with you? When did your child give you his heart? We were never meant to deal with children whose hearts we did not have. If you do not have the heart of a child, you will not have the context in which to bring them to their full potential. If you don’t have their hearts, you will not have their minds.”
