Psalm 51:10 (NKJV) 10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
How does our heart get clean? By letting God touch those dark spots; those hard spots, those spots that need repair. Also, by letting His love grow in us.
How does that happen? By doing what His word says; do good to those who hate us, and pray for those who spitefully use us.
Matthew 5:44 (NKJV) 44 But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you…
Love will grow in our heart and bring healing to that hardness.
We don’t want to do good and pray occasionally or whenever we are in the mood. We want to have a steadfast spirit, meaning resolutely or dutifully firm and unwavering.
We do this on a regular basis, no matter how we may be feeling that day. Our emotions are not going to like this when we don’t let them have a say in the matter.
Be steadfast in the cleansing of our heart and loving one another.
