For I desire and delight in [steadfast] loyalty [faithfulness in the covenant relationship], rather than sacrifice, and in the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
Hosea 6:6
Don’t you know what pleases God? He just wants a true and real relationship with us. He wants us to speak with Him like anyone else we would speak with. Christ doesn’t want a show, a pretense or a ritual. He doesn’t want us to run down our same laundry list day in and day out. Do you know what He desires from us? Just us. Just ourselves as we are. The true “me.” The person we are when we are all alone or when we think no one is looking or paying attention to us.
There’s more… He wants us to believe Him and His Word. Faith is so simple yet difficult for most to wrap their head around. This is because it goes against simple logic most times. But if it is written in God’s Word, then it is true. So dive deeper and be free… be free from all of the concern of this world and come to the realization that you and your situations are in God’s Hands. They are taken care of because you believe. You have been given all power and authority as an heir, just as Christ spoke to the fig tree, so you can also…
Your words are powerful…
