Hosea 6:6

For I desire mercy, not sacrifice,

and acknowledgment of God rather than burnt offerings.

Hosea 6:6

This was Hosea's heart. I love how it is as relevant today as it was then!

I love how he would desire acknowledgement of God instead of Burnt offerings. God doesn't want our hands without our heart attached.

Hebrews 12:2

I love this verse. It's what I try to do, fail to do enough and aspire to continually do.

Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Hebews 12:2
