I experience it, as do you. You experience it, bu he change within, a strength. And then there is the everyday life, a trinity. Think about it!

Actually we are a tripartite being - spirit and soul and body
(1 Thess. 5:23)
Now the whole heart would include the mind. The mind of man is a part of the heart of man.
The whole soul would also include the mind. The mind is a part of the soul. It should read soul there rather than spirit.
The strength would refer, I think, to the human will. The human will is also a part of the heart as well as a part of the soul.
It is like this:
The biblical heart is composed of mind, emotion, will, conscience.
The biblical soul is composed of the mind, emotion, and will.
The soul consists of three parts of the four parts of the heart.
Now the conscience is that fourth part of the heart which is not part of the soul. The conscience is part of the human spirit. The human spirit then contains a part of man which is also in the heart but is not in the soul.
This means that the conscience, which is part of the spirit and part of the heart, joins the soul of man as a kind of gateway to the spirit of man.
The tripartiteness of man is made up though of him being spirit and soul and body. I recommend this article to you:
