9460. 'From everyone whose heart is willing' means that all things should be offered out of love, and so in freedom. This is clear from the meaning of 'whose heart is willing' as in freedom. The reason why offering them out of love is meant is that all freedom is rooted in love; for what a person does out of love he does in freedom.

'Heart' has to do with love because it has to do with the will, see 7542, 8910, 9050, 9113, 9300.

All freedom is rooted in love or affection, 2870-2893, 3158, 9096, and this is why all worship must be offered in freedom, 1947, 2880, 2881, 7349.

7349. 'Thus says Jehovah, Send My people away in order that they may serve Me' means that they should leave those who belong to the Church in order that in freedom they may worship their God. This is clear from the meaning of 'sending' as leaving; from the representation of the children of Israel, to whom 'My people' refers here, as those who belong to the spiritual Church, dealt with in 6426, 6637, 6862, 6868, 7075, 7062, 7198, 7201, 7215, 7223; and from the meaning of 'serving Me' as worshipping their God. The reason for saying 'worship in freedom' is that no worship was possible where falsities were molesting them; and a further reason is that all worship that is truly worship must take place in freedom, 1947, 2875, 2876, 2880, 2881, 3145, 3146, 3158, 4031.
