from the heart

When we do things from the heart, we are not afraid to be crazy and impractical.

When we do things from the heart, we are willing to act extravagantly and without self-consciousness.

When I call the biblical widow's gesture one from the heart, I do not only mean it was a gesture of emotion or feeling. Actions from the heart, are actions from the soul, right within, with or without emotion. That is why the widow was praised.

For the rest of our lives, we will be asked to make decisions.

If we could put more heart, more soul, into our decision-making, and less of analysis, planning and foresight, then we will hear the same blessing , addressed to the widow, addressed to us.
