BY She Reads Truth
Since 2012, She Reads Truth has maintained a singular mission: to be women in the Word of God every day. Ten years later, our community includes “Shes” from across the globe, but our mission hasn’t changed.
Reading Scripture together is the centerpiece of what we do at She Reads Truth. As we spend time as a community reading This Is The Church, we encourage you to start by reading the daily Scripture on your own. Then join us here to engage and encourage one another as we respond to what we’ve read. Each day for this series, we’ll include a brief summary of the reading along with a prompt for conversation.
As a people still being transformed into the likeness of Christ, the Church has fallen short and will continue to. Until Christ’s return, the Church is called to both individual and corporate repentance, knowing that Christ is faithful to forgive, sustain, and perfect His people.
Discussion Question: How is repentance demonstrated in today’s reading?
Take time to reflect on your Scripture reading and today’s question. Share what you are learning with others in the community in the comments.

Seek first God and His Righteousness and all these things will be added unto you! (probably not per se). Seek and ye shall find. Thank Jesus for being our Saviour! Our absolution!

In James 4:5, it talks about making sure your motives are pure when you ask God for something, because he knows the desires of your heart. You have to repent in order to be right with God. You have to have a pure heart and not be in the ways of the world as James 4 says.

You don’t not desire a sacrifice or I would offer one. You do not want a burnt offering. The sacrifice you desire is a broken spirit. You will not reject a broken and repentant heart, O God
