Receive a brand new heart, friend!
Our hearts are not always pure, and uprightness may not be one of our strong suits. Sometimes, our hearts deceive us...they aren’t as lovely as we would like them to be. They may push us to criticize, get angry at someone and sin, entertain negative thoughts, rage, etc. Especially when life is really difficult or seemingly out of control, even due to circumstances resulting from the coronavirus.
Jesus never experienced this. He’s perfect, and His heart has always been pure. He never let anger control Him and drive Him to bad choices and sin. And yet, He understands what you’re feeling when you’re disappointed in yourself for unwise choices you’ve made.
The only One who can make your heart beautiful, clean, and pure from the damage anger can cause is God. He said, “I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you...” (the Bible, Ezekiel 36:26, NKJV)
So don’t wait any longer, friend, and ask God to create a clean heart within you! As David says in Psalm 51, verse 10, “Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.” It was the cry of David’s heart, and perhaps it’s yours today as well.
Bring this cry to Jesus, and allow our gracious, loving God to transform you!
