Thoughtful Starter:
Take a moment of silence and have long deep breaths for today’s devotion.
Today’s Scripture Reading: Hosea 6:6
“I want you to show love, not offer sacrifices.”
In the Old Testament, God told His people that He doesn’t need those rituals, He needed their hearts. Their hearts to share love, to share compassion, to offer kindness and to be there for each other.
Doing these and offering our hearts to Him, we are already making rituals that He longs for.
It’s not what we say, it’s what our hearts speak.
It’s not what we do, it’s what’s in our hearts when we do it.
God only desires one thing-our love for Him.
That’s all He is asking for, not our attendance at church, not the amount of our tithes, not how loud our voices when we sing for Him, and not even how well-spoken we are about Him.
Today, may we offer our hearts to Him first and foremost.
Thoughtful Reflection Question:

Heavenly Father, today I offer my life, my heart and my soul to you. I long to love you and to be loved by you. Amen.
