«Create in me a clean heart, O God.» Psalm 51:10
Do you remember that David was a very close friend of Jesus, but made very serious mistakes? David tried to hide his sins, but God knew and sent a prophet to warn him.
Psalm 51 was written by David, and he talks about everything that happened in his heart.
David cried out to God for mercy because he recognized his serious sin and was repentant. He understood that he had disobeyed God. He told God that he was a sinner, but he really wanted God to turn his impure heart into a very clean heart. He wanted God to erase all his sins forever. He longed to be just like Jesus, but he could never do it alone.
He was sure that God could help him not to commit those ugly sins anymore.
Let’s practice!
Draw a dirty heart and a clean heart.
