Biblical Understanding based on the Record of Scripture
The word "heart", in English, has a wide variety of applications. This is true of both the use of the word in Hebrew and Greek as well, so it behooves us to consider what is being talked about when we come across it in our study.

Hebrews 12:10,11 NKJV
For they (physical parents) indeed for a few days chastened us as seemed best to them but He (God and Father) for our profit, that we might be partakers of His holiness.
