A Purified Heart ~

A purified heart,
is a washed one
forgiven by God
cleansed by His Son.

It’s a penitent heart,
one once crimson
now as white as snow
with grace it glistens.

A purified heart,
is one renewed within
obedient to living
a life without sin.

It’s a anointed heart,
filled with the Spirit
one where pasts lusts
doesn’t go back to visit.

A purified heart,
is a heart blessed . . .
for its sins to God
it has confessed!

~~~~~~~~

Matthew 5:8

Blessed are
the pure in heart:
for they shall
see God.

In God’s Eyes ~

We’re all sinners,
in God’s eyes . . .
we all have fallen
for satan’s lies.

But, we who repent,
are since redeemed
and from our sins
we are now cleaned.

We all have strayed,
on the narrow path
we all are headed
to knowing His wrath.

But, we who have faith,
in mercy and grace
His righteous judgment
will not have to face.

We all have fallen,
short of God’s glory
but Jesus came to put . . .
and end to that story!

~~~~~~~~

Romans 3:23

For all have sinned,
and come short of
the glory of God;

Good Morning Quote ~02.26.20~

Worthy ~

Sometimes we don’t feel,
we are worthy of . . .
God’s mercy and favor
let alone His gift of love.

But, that is just a lie,
satan likes to tell . . .
for he wants to drag us
straight with him into hell.

Sometimes we don’t feel,
we are deserving of . . .
Jesus’ saving grace
let alone His undying love.

But, that is just the devil,
trying to get into us . . .
for, he is out to destroy
in God our faith and trust.

Sometimes satan will,
unsettle us with worry
but, we must believe . . .
to God we are worthy!

1 Corinthians 6:11

And such were some of you:
but ye are washed, but ye
are sanctified, but ye are
justified in the name of
the Lord Jesus, and by the
Spirit of our God.

2 Corinthians 11:3

But I fear, lest by any means,
as the serpent beguiled Eve
through his subtilty,
so your minds should be
corrupted from the
simplicity that is in Christ.

A Mop and A Broom ~

I wander through my mind,
go from room to room
and in each one I find
a mop and a broom.

In the room of transgression,
with all its dirt and grime
I sweep away all my sins
He washes away my crime.

In the room of worry,
with all its anxious fears
I sweep away my concerns
He washes away my tears.

In the room of sorrow,
with all the loss I’ve known
I sweep away my grief,
He washes away my groan.

In the room of troubles,
with all its weight and pain
I sweep away my faults
He washes away the stain.

In the room of doubt,
with every regret and qualm
I sweep away my disbelief
He washes me with His calm.

Psalm 51:2
King James Version

“Wash me throughly
from mine iniquity,
and cleanse me
from my sin.”
