Create in me a
clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
Psalm 51:10
Once we come to know God, through Jesus Christ, our hearts are forever
changed. The Holy Spirit makes us keenly aware, that they are indeed
corrupt, seeking to fulfill the desires of our flesh. If we allow Him
to, God transforms our hearts, making them new, so that they desire to
love God, and long to draw near to Him, joyfully receiving and obeying
His commands. It is humanly impossible, for us to make this great
transformation, through our own ability. It is through the Holy Spirit,
that we are able to have fellowship with God, understanding the things
of God, and the ability and strength to do His will. The life of God
dwells within us, as well as His love, and character. His attributes,
will be evident in our lives. As long as there is breath in our bodies,
the struggle will remain. Our hearts are susceptible to falling back
into their original corrupt state, becoming separated by sin, from the
life line they so desperately need to survive, which is Jesus Christ.
Prayer
Lord, open the
eyes of our hearts, enlighten them, search them, and remove all that is
offensive and corrupt. You understand our hearts completely, guard them
from deception, and satiate them with Your perfect love and peace. Dwell
within our hearts, we desire to obey Your will, and long to be near to
You, In Jesus name, Amen.
