Devotion
Devotion is the heart and foundation of Merkaba Church—a sacred commitment to the Divine, to spiritual evolution, and to living in alignment with truth, love, and higher consciousness. Devotion is more than belief; it is an embodied practice that deepens our connection with the Source, fuels our purpose, and elevates our existence into a sacred offering.
