1 Kings 8.23

... [Solomon] said, "Oh Lord, God of Israel, there is no God like you in the heaven above or the earth beneath, keeping covenant and steadfast love for your servants who walk before you with all their heart ...

This is the opening of Solomon's prayer of dedication of the 1st Temple. The only comment necessary is to emphasize we are to walk with our heart as well as our feet. Note, it does not say "hearts," but "heart." We are certainly individuals, but we are part of a single Community of Faith, even when we disagree, as families sometimes do.
