Psalm 51 Verses 11-13
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.
12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.
It is easy for me to think that I am a really good person and then something will happen and I do something to hurt someone. It’s then I realize I am not as good as I thought. We don’t like to think of ourselves as capable of lacking compassion or being unkind. . I don’t like to think of myself that way.. I like to think of myself as caring and decent but we all do things wrong.
We are not perfect. We make mistakes and sometimes our bad behavior is not a mistake but a choice. Guilt is often our reward.
The good new in all of this is that God forgives us. He does not turn away from us or give up on us, He will help us to begin again. Thank you God!
Prayer: Forgiving God, turn us away from evil and make us clean again. Help us to consider our choices and make good ones. Let your Holy Spirit guide us to live a holy and blameless life. AMEN
