Clean our Hearts
“Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.”
(Psalm 51:10 KJV)
I think if we are honest with ourselves that there are times when we harbor
unforgiveness, bitterness, resentment, jealousy and hatred in our hearts. These
things hurt Jesus and break His heart.
We may not say unkind things to people but we think unkind thoughts about them.
We need to ask God to clean our hearts and renew a right spirit within us. It is
very important that we keep our hearts in right standing with God.
We don’t know when Jesus is coming back but He is coming back. What condition is
your heart in today? If Jesus came for us right now, would you be able to look
Him in the eyes or would you have to hang your head in shame?
We can take a bath when our bodies get dirty but only God can clean our hearts
and renew a right spirit within us. Have you allowed God to give your heart a
bath and renew a right spirit within you?
Heavenly Father, we come to You today confessing that we have allowed things to
remain in our hearts that hurt You. We’re sorry. Please have mercy on us and
forgive us. Help us to keep our hearts clean so we won’t hurt You. Thank You.
Amen.
