Pure Hearted

February 17, 2014 by Leave a Comment

“Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me.”

~ the prayer of David in Psalm 51:10 ~

What shames, my heart?

 

Say not that smog shall forever be the air you breathe;

 

Pray Holy Spirit’s gale-wind breath upon you once again.

 

What ails, my heart?

 

Recite not all your troubled ills in hopelessness of soul;

 

Forget not all His benefits for they are daily.

 

What shadows, my heart?

 

Believe not that sorrow and mourning shall never flee away;

 

Surely the light of dawn chases the dark of night.

 

 What tempts, my heart?

 

Resistance is not futile when you are guarded;

 

See the enemy flee at the sight of God’s gleaming armor.

 

What soils, my heart?

 

Not for naught did His blood spill its cleansing power;

 

Settle the matter with the Lord your God: see red like scarlet become white as snow.

 

Take heart, my heart!

 

The One who first created you remains Creator still.

 

Creating again where what once was, now is not;

 

Renewing what remains, from feebleness to strength.

 

Pure hearted, my heart!

 

Washed by Love, now transparent, clean and clear;

 

You shall see God.
