Psalm 51

Psalm 51:17
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit;
A broken and a contrite heart, O God, You will not despise.
First and foremost, God looks at the heart.  If the heart is not right, nothing else matters.  It's easy to fall into the position of being proud at your faithfulness.  I've been there too often.  I'm a very "do-good" type of person.  I'm at church often; if there's a service or a group I'm involved in, they can depend on me to show up.

Then I see friends whose attendance if iffy, or will get up and wander around in sight of everyone, and it really bugs me that they're being so disrespectful to God.  But the issue is probably in my heart, at judging theirs.  If I'm willing to put my personal feeling aside and simply be available for God, to do as He wishes though them and me, I think things would go better.
