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.
