On the flip side, I cannot tell you what heartache my
choices cause God. Heart felt pain, since He wants to be in charge and He wants
me to come to Him when I make any decision big or small. (Isaiah 43:22-24) When
do I most disappoint God? When do I show Him the most disrespect? When I follow
the rules, whether unwritten or written during worship time, but don’t act that
way every minute of every day. When my worship may be admirable but my heart
remains my own. (Ezekiel 22:8) God doesn’t want me to offer the best sacrifice
in the Temple, or say the most prayers, or lead the most spiritual songs, or
preach the most “repent” sermons. He wants my mercy. Actually He wants me to
display His mercy in addition to show I know Him. (Hosea 6:6; Amos 5:21-24). He
wants me, my heart, my mercy, and that comes from my faith, not my works. And
my faith comes from my reaching for God.
