Yet forgiveness and language can only come from a person: they are mental acts. Thus David was a man after God's own heart (1 Sam.13:14), showing that God has a mind (heart), which is capable of being replicated to some limited degree by man, although man by nature is not after God's heart. Passages like, "It repented the Lord that He had made man...and it grieved Him at his heart" (Gen.6:6), reveal God as a feeling, conscious Being, rather than an abstract puff of Spirit in the atmosphere.
Hata hivyo msamaha na usemi unaweza tu kutoka kwa mtu: ni matendo ya akili, Hivyo Daudi alikuwa ni mtu aliyeupendeza moyo wa Mungu (1 Sam 13: 14), inaonyesha kwamba Mungu ana moyo, unaoweza kunakiliwa kwa kiwango kidogo na mtu, ingawa mwanadamu wa mwili haupendezi moyo wa Mungu. Mafungu ya maneno kama BWANA akaghairi kwa kuwa amemfanya mwanadamu duniani akahuzunika moyo (Mwa. 6:6), hufunua hisia ya Mungu, mwenye ufahamu kuliko kuwa kishindo cha roho ya kuwazika katika hewa.
