God’s Relentless Pursuit

FIRST15
About this episode

In today’s devotional we’re beginning a brand new series, focusing on the fact that God is first and foremost after our hearts. In a world that defines us by what we do, God looks at who we are. May we openly accept his gaze today, with faith in our hearts that he always looks at us with grace. And may his pursuit of our hearts stir up a pursuit within us of his heart, setting out every morning to experience the fullness of his love and compassion.

Our Scripture for today comes from Psalm 23:6, and today's worship is Since Your Love by United Pursuit.
