If at first we were unfaithful, betrayed, and loved uncleanness, now is the time to turn our hearts to God. This attitude is the first that God demands of His people. He cannot be manipulated with all the religious ceremonies and offerings. God is more pleased with a repentant heart. It is the offering of a repentant heart that is acceptable to God. The offerings of the repentant heart will come to the throne of His grace. Yes, God can only be sought and found by following the path of love. This is according to His essence which is love.
