A Clean Heart

23 05 2016

Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.  Psalm 51:10

Life experience can leave a residue of emotions on your heart.  Hurt, disappointment, anger and fear can linger and create a filter for viewing your life moving forward.  It is a dangerous state of being to let negative emotions to build up in your heart.  I seek a clean heart; a clear place of heart and mind.  The acts of receiving and giving forgiveness can help us to achieve a clean heart.  I am thankful that we can ask God for forgiveness for our shortcomings.  He is faithful and just to forgive us, when we ask.  We can be diligent in forgiving others.  We can let the past go….   It is a liberating approach to living that will keep us focused on what is important.  I seek a clean heart; a place where peace and joy dwells in abundance.

“Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me.”  John 14:1

Make Room

Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. John 14:1

Our hearts and souls are constructed to be vessels of faith, peace and love. The Lord made us so that even during disappointment and hurt feelings we could clear away bitterness and unforgiveness. Routine events of daily living open the door to interactions that give us a choice of harboring things in our heart or dealing with it to let it go. People are always imperfect and may be a source of disappointment but our trust is in God. Letting go of the hurt, the stored up offenses and resentment give us space in our hearts to welcome what God has for us. Letting go is essential for our hearts to be healthy and whole. We want to make room for the gifts of His Holy Spirit to take residence in our hearts and minds and emanate out through our words and our deeds. We want to make room in our hearts for His peace, His joy and His love. We can start our spiritual spring cleaning early and let go.
