Create in me a clean heart, O God.  Renew a loyal spirit within me.  Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and make me willing to obey you.  Psalm 51:10, 12 NLT

Have you ever been in a place in your life where you wish you could start over?  One of the first results of God's grace being received is the desire for a new nature, in which only the Lord can provide. Create in me a clean heart, O God.  Renew a loyal spirit with me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation.  For God's grace does not just forgive our sins it begins the creation on a new nature that has its foundation in the joy of God’s salvation.  This is not being religious at all, for God’s grace renews our thinking and emotions with the result of a life without guilt, shame or regret. Today allow yourself the freedom of his grace to create a clean heart within you, with expressions of thanksgiving.  Because of his grace may your heart desire to say – make me willing to obey you!  Enjoy!
