Create in me a clean Heart

Psalm 51:10-11. amp"Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right, persevering, and steadfast spirit within me. Cast me not away from Your presence and take not Your Holy Spirit from me." No matter how big or small it may be, Sin makes a heart unclean . Sin will always take us away from The Lord. It is important to understand the Grace of God and the Blood of Christ. The Grace of God is the entrance into God's undeserved favor towards all humanity, those who deserve condemnation. The Blood of Christ is the Atonement for our guilt and sin. David was stuck in his sin, and he knew it would take a cry from deep within himself to get God to listen. He cried,  "Create in me a clean heart."  He knew where the source of sin had come from, and the only way to overcome this condemnation and wickedness was with a new heart washed and cleaned by God. David got even deeper when he asked God to "renew a right, persevering, and steadfast Spirit within me." Sin comes from a root and the root comes from a seed planted within the heart. This root, if not stopped, will spread and go deep, even to your spirit, and infect it. The only way to de-root the infection is by getting into the Presence of God and allowing  the Holy Spirit to Create a new heart and spirit within you.  Draw close to God and He will Draw close to you. Give Him thanks for His Mercy and Grace in your life today and forevermore.
