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.
It is very important that you be careful about what you think,
because what you think controls [MET] the things that you do.

Trust in Yahweh completely,
and do not rely on what you yourself understand.
Trust in Yahweh completely,
and do not rely on what you yourself understand.
Always allow him to lead you.
If you do that, he will ◄show you the right path/direct your life►.
My son, do not forget what I have taught you.
Keep my commands in your inner being,
because if you obey them you will live a long time and things will go well for you
Always faithfully love others and ◄be faithful/do what you say that you will do►;
doing those things will cause others to be pleased with you;
it will be as though you are wearing a beautiful necklace.
Keep those things in your mind/inner being.
If you do, God and people will approve of you
and think highly of you [MTY].
Having a mind that is peaceful results in having a healthy body;
having a mind that is often in turmoil is like [MET] cancer in a person’s bones.
Wise people heed good instruction/advice,
but people who talk foolishly will ruin themselves.
Coração puro
Cria em mim um coração puro, ó Deus. Ensina-me a contar meus dias para que tenha um coração sábio.
O God, cause my inner being to be pure.
Put new thoughts within me and make me faithful again.
O God, cause my inner being to be pure.
Put new thoughts within me and make me faithful again.
So teach/help us to realize that we live for only a short time
in order that we may use our time wisely.
O Yahweh, you are like an overhanging rock [MET] under which I can be safe; you are the one who protects me.
I hope/desire that the things that I say and what I think will always please you.
You who confidently expect Yahweh to do great things for you,
be strong, be courageous!
Be delighted with all that Yahweh does for you;
if you do that, he will give you the things that you desire most.
I want him to give to you what you desire,
and that you will be able to accomplish all that you desire to do.
Yahweh is pleased with those who ◄obey his requirements/do what he has instructed them to do►,
those who request him with their entire inner beings to help them to do that.
When I learn all of ◄your regulations/the rules that you have given to us►,
I will praise you with a pure inner being [IDM].
I try to serve you with my entire inner being;
do not allow me to ◄wander away from obeying/disobey► ◄your commands/what you have commanded►.
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.
Jesus quoted the Scriptures as he replied, "‘You must love the Lord your God with all [IDM] your ◄inner being/heart►. Show that you love him in all that you desire, in all that you feel, and in all that you think.’
Jesus quoted the Scriptures as he replied, "‘You must love the Lord your God with all [IDM] your ◄inner being/heart►. Show that you love him in all that you desire, in all that you feel, and in all that you think.’
Remember that the things that you think are the most valuable are the things that you will be constantly concerned about [MET]. So if you want to be storing treasures in heaven, you need to be constantly thinking about God and heaven, instead of your earthly possessions."
Also note this: If anyone says to this hill, ‘Be raised up {Rise up} and then be thrown {throw yourself} into the lake!’ and if he does not doubt that what he asks for will happen, that is, if he believes that what he asks for will happen, God will do it for him.
Human minds are extremely corrupt/deceitful,
and you cannot change that.
It is also completely impossible [RHQ] for anyone to understand that.

But I, Yahweh, search what is in everyone’s inner being,
and I examine what they are thinking.
I will give all people rewards,
what they deserve for what they have done."
If you earnestly desire for me to bless you, you will experience me blessing you.
Moses also commanded you to love Yahweh your God and to obey his commands, and to continue to worship him and serve him by everything that you think and everything that you do."
I will put a new way of thinking [IDM] within you. I will cause you to no longer be stubborn [IDM], and I will enable you to obey me completely [IDM].
I will give you a completely new way of thinking [IDM]. I will enable you to stop being stubborn [IDM], and I will enable you to obey me from your inner beings [IDM].
Conhecer o coração
O homem olha para a aparência, mas o Senhor olha para o coração. Deus conhece os segredos mais profundos.
But Yahweh said to Samuel, "No, he is not the one whom I have chosen. Don’t pay attention to his being handsome and very tall, because I have not chosen him. I do not evaluate people as people do. You people evaluate people by their appearance, but I evaluate people by what is in their inner beings."

When a person looks in the water, he sees his own face;
similarly [SIM], when we look at a person’s behavior, we know what he is thinking.
Being cheerful is like swallowing good medicine;
being discouraged/gloomy all the time will ◄drain away your energy/cause you to become weak► [MTY].
◄Request/Rely on► Yahweh to direct what you plan to do;
if you do that, you will succeed in what you plan.
Do not be trying to make yourselves beautiful by decorating the outside of your bodies, such as ◄by the way you comb your hair/by your hair style► or by wearing gold jewelry and fine clothes. Instead, make your ◄inner beings/hearts► beautiful with qualities/attitudes that will not fade away. Specifically, have a humble and quiet/calm attitude, which is something that God considers to be very valuable.
Each of you should decide how much you (sg) should give, and then give that amount. You (sg) should not be thinking to yourself, "I really do not want to give this money." And you(sg) should not give just because someone tells you to give. Instead, you should give willingly and cheerfully, because God loves those who give cheerfully.
You were once slaves to your sinful desires. But you began to sincerely obey the new teaching [MET] that you were taught {that people taught you}. I thank God for that.
We pray that our Lord Jesus will strengthen your resolve to do what pleases God (OR, strengthen you spiritually). We pray that God our Father will enable you to conduct your lives in a way that is pure and that no one can justly criticize, so that when Jesus comes back to earth accompanied by all those who belong to him, he will be pleased with you.
do not stubbornly ◄disobey/refuse to obey him► [IDM], as your Jewish ancestors stubbornly disobeyed him when they rebelled against him in the desert.
At that time, God said to your ancestors, "They tried to determine how many things that displeased me they could do in the desert without me punishing them.
