Heart of Hearts

The cells of the heart begin to function as soon as they are differentiated from the others.
That cell --and any cell from your heart that can be separated out will beat all by itself.

The mystery remains --why is this so?
Why would a cell, the smallest possible representation of the object itself, function singly, and alone?

For it to be the first identifiable functional cell in the human body is fascinating, and the logic behind it is clear.

But for a cell to do it's job in seclusion from its (pardon the phrase) collective, is not so logical.

One could conclude that perhaps we, human beings, are all cells in the heart of God and taken singly can function. Except God has no such interdependent need of us. None whatsoever, never mind needing us to complete his most critical organ.

So what could the connection be?
In my opinion, it is grace. Bountiful grace.
God made His creation to be completely independent from Him. The blessing and the curse of free will. In order for the physical to be separate and be able to function without His interference, He made it operate from the first cell intended to become a heart.
