About a pure heart…
Psalm 51:10 Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. 11
Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me. 12 Restore to me the
joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me. (NIV)
Our Lord desires that you have a pure heart. He wants you to be cleansed of all the
dark thoughts you might think. When you kneel at the Cross, Christ will banish the dark
thoughts, anger, and resentment you might have stored up within you. At the foot of His
Cross, at the place where He suffered so much and died for you, you can pour out all of
the darkness that resides within you. It is at His Cross that you find His love in His
sacrifice. At the Cross, your heart will be touched so there is no darkness within you. At
the Cross, His Light and Love pour over you. It is the Lord's will and desire that you put
away all the lust of your heart for things that are not of God. The Lord desires that you
have in you a hunger to be humble in His sight. The Lord desires that you come to Him with
a spirit within you that wants to push out all that is worldly and selfish. When your
heart is tempted by desires that destroy your spirit and your love for God, then turn your
heart away from temptations. In times of trial and temptation, speak to Christ and listen
to His mighty and loving voice. When you start to fall, reach up to Him. When you start to
come apart because of an unclean heart, kneel at His Cross and He will make you whole by
cleansing your heart of all dark things.
