Just my opinion. “I am in the heart of God” scans better in English as the inverse of “God is in my heart” and has a better rhythm in this context. Just my opinion.

I can choose between the two. Thank you but what about “I am in God’s heart”? I can choose between the two.

It reminds me of "the prophet" by Khalil Gibran. There is a sentence that I really love and I am sorry for my poor translation. You might want to look it up since it was first written in arabic language when he was 15 (ouch) and then he translated in english when older. His translation might be more accurate than mine. Anyway the prophete tells the people of the village not to say "God is in my heart" but "I am in the heart of God" “what do we do to be a part of what God is?”

It may be that we get the revelation we are prepared to hear,and I so want to be able and worthy to receive more,which i think means moving the furniture around on a regular basis.I so hope that my thoughts can at some point become more like God's thoughts so that we may settle down together a little more comfortably.Once again i am so grasteful that you would take the time to conceptualise what has only been intuited in my brain.

Then we carry some part of that experience to others. Thanks Stephen–I like the thought expressed in number 2–we learn about God by experiencing Him as He reveals Himself. Then we carry some part of that experience to others.
