It's always been about the heart. I think that would be an appropriate title for Psalm 51, which I read this morning, or for all of life for that matter. God has placed us in a world that has many dangers and temptations. We will stumble and fall. What then? We can try hard to compensate for our mistakes by our human sacrifices but they will not bring peace and restoration. Our broken heart will open the door to the new day we desire. In spite of all his failings, God loved David because he was a man after God's own heart. It isn't about what we do but who we seek. And, of course, that will affect all we do.

PS 51:17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart,
O God, you will not despise.
