My heart leads me to God

Returning to the life of Samuel, we are again called to examine the way we see things. Samuel sees Saul as disobeying God but God does not judge like Samuel. More than obedience to rules and rituals, God wants a loving heart and less judgment of others [1 Sam 15:16-23 and Psalm 49]. While the old laws are good, the Holy Spirit guiding my heart is what God wants [Mk 2: 18-22].
