God’s love for you has no strings attached.

Psalm 40:7

Sacrifice and offering you do not want; but ears open to obedience you gave me.

+++

God is interested in your heart…your desire to spread the love of God.

God is not interested in you proving yourself worthy of anything.

It’s not just today’s psalm that states God is not interested in your sacrifice.

The Prophet Hosea also stated the same sentiment: “For it is loyalty that I desire, not sacrifice, and knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings” (Hosea 6:6).

Jesus referred to this twice: “Go and learn the meaning of the words, ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ I did not come to call the righteous but sinners” (Matthew 9:13); “If you knew what this meant, ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned these innocent men (Matthew 7:12).

The message Jesus wanted us to hear is that we are already completely loved by God just as we are. 

St. Paul said that God “chose us in Jesus, before the foundation of the world, to be holy and without blemish before him” (Ephesians 1:4).

God chose you “before the foundation of the world”!

Instead of spending your time trying to prove yourself worthy of God’s love…try spending time in silent acceptance that you are eternally loved.

Listen to the yearnings of your heart as to how God wants to love the world…through you.
