Coração
O coração é o centro do ser humano — sede dos pensamentos, emoções e decisões. A Bíblia ensina a guardar, purificar e render o coração a Deus como oferta viva.
Guardar o coração
Sobre tudo o que se deve guardar, guarda o teu coração, porque dele procedem as fontes da vida e de toda decisão.
Keep your heart with all vigilance,
for from it flow the springs of life.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
and do not lean on your own understanding.

In all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make straight your paths.
My son, do not forget my teaching,
but let your heart keep my commandments,
for length of days and years of life
and peace they will add to you.
Let not steadfast love and faithfulness forsake you;
bind them around your neck;
write them on the tablet of your heart.
So you will find favor and good success
in the sight of God and man.
A tranquil heart gives life to the flesh,
but envy makes the bones rot.
The wise of heart will receive commandments,
but a babbling fool will come to ruin.
Coração puro
Cria em mim um coração puro, ó Deus. Ensina-me a contar meus dias para que tenha um coração sábio.
Create in me a clean heart, O God,
and renew a right spirit within me.

So teach us to number our days
that we may get a heart of wisdom.
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
be acceptable in your sight,
O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.
Be strong, and let your heart take courage,
all you who wait for the Lord!
Delight yourself in the Lord,
and he will give you the desires of your heart.
May he grant you your heart’s desire
and fulfill all your plans!
Blessed are those who keep his testimonies,
who seek him with their whole heart,
I will praise you with an upright heart,
when I learn your righteous rules.
With my whole heart I seek you;
let me not wander from your commandments!
Buscar a Deus de coração
Amarás ao Senhor teu Deus de todo o coração. A busca sincera leva ao encontro; o coração dividido leva à ruína.

For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him.
The heart is deceitful above all things,
and desperately sick;
who can understand it?

Conhecer o coração
O homem olha para a aparência, mas o Senhor olha para o coração. Deus conhece os segredos mais profundos.
But the Lord said to Samuel, "Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart."

As in water face reflects face,
so the heart of man reflects the man.
A joyful heart is good medicine,
but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.
Commit your work to the Lord,
and your plans will be established.
Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear— but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God’s sight is very precious.
Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
But thanks be to God, that you who were once slaves of sin have become obedient from the heart to the standard of teaching to which you were committed,
so that he may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before our God and Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.
do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion,
on the day of testing in the wilderness,
