Hallelujah! I will give thanks to the LORD with my
whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, in the congregation. Psalm 111:1
With my whole heart, no qualifiers or
second-guessers or distracting accusations. My whole heart. And we are the
upright because You are our father, and we are your children. And we have been
washed whiter than snow.
And may my heart rejoice and be glad as
we congregate together to honor You, our LORD and God. Together, undivided into
factions and denominations and red and blue parties and different sides of the
(barbed wire) fence.
Then He looked me in the eye and said, "Now go
and learn the meaning of this Scripture: 'I want you to show mercy, not offer
sacrifices.' For I have come to call not those who think they are righteous,
but those who know they are sinners."
And may I offer my sacrifices of praise
with a clean heart, holding nothing against my brother or sister. For it is
indeed a sobering judgment to ask the LORD God who sees into all of the dark
corners and closet spaces of my heart to Forgive me my sins just as I have
forgiven those who have sinned against me.
