The mind grows by taking in, but the heart grows by giving out; and it is important to maintain a balanced life.
From Colossians 1:9-10: “For this reason, since the day we heard it, we have not ceased praying for you and asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of God’s will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to Him, as you bear fruit in every good work and as you grow in the knowledge of God.”
Warren Wiersbe (1929-2019) was an American pastor and Christian writer. His journey as a Christian teacher was prolific with publication of over 50 books.

Balanced yes… but it’s okay to grow “the heart “even more than “the mind.” Doesn’t the Bible say it is better to give than to receive? Good advice – as long as it’s not too imbalanced. Huh?

I’ve been slogging through Wiersbe’s commentaries for a long while. He has a great way with words.
