Allowing God to Cleanse and Change Your Heart
As believers, we know that our hearts are the wellspring of life (Proverbs 4:23). It is important to constantly guard and clean our hearts so that we can live a life that is pleasing to God.
Here are some steps to take to allow God to change and clean your heart:
Confess any sins and ask for forgiveness (1 John 1:9)
9 If we [freely] admit that we have sinned and confess our sins, He is faithful and just [true to His own nature and promises], and will forgive our sins and cleanse us continually from all unrighteousness [our wrongdoing, everything not in conformity with His will and purpose].
Meditate on God's word and let it guide your thoughts and actions (Psalm 119:11)
11 Your word I have treasured and stored in my heart, That I may not sin against You.
Pray for a heart that is pure and pleasing to God (Psalm 51:10)
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God,And renew a right and steadfast spirit within me.
Surround yourself with people who will encourage and uplift you in your walk with Christ (Hebrews 10:24-25)
24 and let us consider [thoughtfully] how we may encourage one another to love and to do good deeds, 25 not forsaking our meeting together [as believers for worship and instruction], as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more [faithfully] as you see the day [of Christ’s return] approaching.
May you experience the transformative power of God's love as you allow Him to change your heart.
Will you pray with me today?
Dear Father God,
We ask that you help us guard our hearts
And keep them clean.
We ask that you fill us with your peace
And love so that we can be a light to those around us.
Thank you for your never-ending grace and mercy.
In Jesus' name, we pray.
Amen.
Blessings, Ya Rose
