When you offer to God only your scraps and leftovers, it exposes the fact that your heart is far from Him. But because He is King, He deserves all of your worship and devotion.

Whether you are in exile or in the promised land, incline your heart towards the Lord always. That is where contentment is found.

Christians are committed to integrating and holding together truth and love. Check your heart; are you devoted to the truth because it is the most loving or simply because it fits into your political leaning? It is possible to hold the right value with the wrong heart and therefore be wrong.
