When I was a little younger, I found a problem with saying "I love you with my heart".
When I studied science, it made that near to impossibility.
Science taught me the heart can do nothing but circulate blood.
It told me the heart controls no feeling, and that you can't love with the heart.
When I was a little older, I found a problem with what science taught me about " I love you with my heart "
When I studied nature, that phrase became a gemstone, a jasper in my eyes.
Nature told me science was wrong but right.
It said the heart indeed is for the circulation of blood which is nearly the most important factor of life, which means life is near impossible without it.
It is in this view that nothing is wrong with that phrase because it does not necessarily mean one feels the 'love' with his heart, after all love is abstract. But what that phrase really means is that one is willing to give up the one thing that makes him live, the heart, for you. And this makes visible the extent of the affection, the love, one has for you.
To die for someone intentionally, you must have loved the person with your heart. That was what Jesus the Christ did, so if you love Him with your heart as most of us say, you must be ready to die for him, and to die for him, you must be ready for the challenge and the challenge is to follow THE LAW!
