Psalm 51:17

Have you ever struggled with jealousy or anger? In the story of Cain and Abel, we see how unchecked emotions can lead to devastating consequences. Cain’s jealousy of his brother’s accepted offering drives him to commit the first murder. This story reveals the dangers of letting bitterness control us.

Yet, it also teaches us that God values a heart of humility over any external offering. Psalm 51:17 reminds us that what truly pleases God is a broken and contrite heart. How can we surrender our struggles and emotions to God today, allowing Him to transform our hearts?
