‘Legalistic remorse says,
“I broke God’s rules”,
while real repentance says,
“I broke God’s heart.”’
"Those who desire Christ's presence will gather in His name. Whoever either neglects the sacred assemblies or separates himself from his brethren, demonstrates by this fact that he cares nothing for Christ's presence."
How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord of Heaven’s Armies. I long, yes, I faint with longing to enter the courts of the Lord. With my whole being, body and soul, I will shout joyfully to the living God. Even the sparrow finds a home, and the swallow builds her nest and raises her young at a place near your altar, O Lord of Heaven’s Armies, my King and my God! What joy for those who can live in your house, always singing your praises.
