But when your heart is whole, you will appear joyful and treat others with love and respect. If your heart is broken, you will likely appear to others as being despondent you may use hurtful words and tones when dealing with them. The condition of your heart determines how you look at, speak to, and treat others. Author Carolyn Joy knows what it is like to have a broken heart, and she brings that experience into helping you heal your heart. The Overflow of the Heart helps you seek God and search your heart. This is certainly important, but we must also make sure not to neglect our spiritual hearts. We are inundated with ways to keep our physical hearts healthy.
