The Sacrifice God Wants Is A Broken Spirit

Good afternoon Fellow Steemians!!
When we are broken, only then can God put us back together and then fill us with His Holy Spirit!
Many times we feel we must do more of something to please God, but He is not pleased with sacrifice and burnt offerings when His people did not love Him genuinely in their hearts. He wants a broken spirit and a broken and contrite heart. You can never please God by outward actions - No matter how good - If your inward heart attitude is not right. He looks to the heart; He looks to the motives; He looks at the attitude. David understood what pleased God in worship when He said in Psalm 51: 16-17,
You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it;
you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings.
My sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit;
a broken and contrite heart
you, God, will not despise.

-New International Version

What God desires from us is to grow in righteousness and to know Him - not what we give... In Him we can be sincere and choose a life free from sin. The life with the assurance that He lives inside of us! May we be broken like David; no wonder even with his weaknesses, God was still able to say of him that he is a man after my own heart! God Bless and have a great day in God’s Word.

Thank you for stopping by:-)
Peace and blessings, God bless us all :-)
