Sacrifice God Desires

16 You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it;
you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings.
17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit;
a broken and contrite heart,
O God, you will not despise.

~ Psalm 51:16-17

Guard Your Heart

Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.

~ Proverbs 4:23

Anxiety

"An anxious heart weighs a man down, but a kind word cheers him up." (NIV)

"Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression, But a good word makes it glad." (NKJV)


~ Proverbs 12:25

Fruit anyone?

"No tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit. Each tree is recognized by its own fruit. People do not pick figs from thorn bushes, or grapes from briers. The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored in his heart. For out of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks."

~ Luke 6:43-45 (taken from NIV - The Young Explorer's Bible)

What does God Want from Me and You?

"You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it; you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise."

~ Psalm 51:16-17
