Psalms 51:6,
"Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts..."
Laymens translation: The Lord desires that we be honest with ourselves and with Him! He desires TRUTH within us!
***Let us accept this once and for all: The Lord knows the areas in our hearts and lives with which we struggle.***
He knows what is going on in our hearts before we confess it to Him. Pure relationship with God understands this vital fact and it does not ignore this elephant in the room! It does not seek to hide as Adam & Eve did in the garden. A pure heart before the Lord cries out to the Lord that the areas with which we struggle be confessed to Him and furthermore, that the areas deep down that only the Lord can reveal be made known to us SO THAT we can CHANGE and continue on in this glorious maturation process, which is a walk with the Lord.
We can see this as we continue reading Psalm 51,
Verses 7 & 10-13:
"Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow...Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit. Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee!"
Oh what a glorious revelation this is to understand that our God desires that we first be honest with ourself and with God about our own hearts and lives. From this place of understanding we can then begin to mature and transform from glory to glory in this amazing walk with the Lord (Romans 12:2, 2 Corinthians 3:18).
Pour out your heart before the Lord and watch as His loving embrace carries you to realms of maturity that you never new existed!!
Psalms 62:8 KJV
"Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us!"
We love you!
