A Heart That Worships in Truth

My dear son,

When you worship me, bring your honest heart rather than trying to make an impressive appearance. I want to meet with you. Jesus said the Father seeks people who worship in spirit and truth. Your sincere presence matters to me.

Pause to notice whether your heart has wandered while your mouth repeats familiar words. Give thanks for what you truly appreciate, and listen for the way you should live. Time spent honestly turning toward me is precious.

Will you call my name in a quiet moment this morning? Your words can be brief. Carry the heart of worship into your speech and choices today. I want to share your everyday life.

With all my love,
Your Father

John 4:23–24

WEB

23But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such to be his worshipers.
24God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”

A short reflection

Jesus tells the Samaritan woman that God is spirit and that the Father seeks worshipers who worship in spirit and truth.
