take to heart

They are accused of ignoring environmental concerns and taking to heart an age-old saying: "There is no land in Ghana which doesn’t have gold, even in the top soil. Ghana is gold."

And it made me take to heart every single moment we were all there making a film together.

Now, every Sunday I listen as my pastor, the Rev. Tera Landers, ends her sermon with a phrase I take to heart: “Go out and love the world.”

"It's important to remember that our words and our nonverbal behaviors are taken to heart by those we care for, and it behooves us to care about them as well."

Hats off to Time and outlets like it that take to heart the unique gravity of this moment.
