The paper examines the connection between the heart and deification in Christian thought, presenting the heart as an inner space where God meets humans in intimate unification. Deification, as described by Christian mystics, involves the deepest unification with God and transformation through God's love. The work offers a brief guide to the theological concept of deification and explores historical and biblical views of the heart, interpreting the heart as an inner image and center, including the exchange of hearts, within the context of written mystical experience.
