Our hearts are not pure. Jeremiah said, "The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure" (Jer 17:9). Yet, "with God all things are possible" (Matt 19:26). Jesus can cleanse your heart, and He will do so and will keep you pure, too, if you will ask Him.

Took this from my BSF notes and it totally wowed me. In this statement and declaration, the author used 2 Bible verses! And linked them well and all so true!

It fills my heart with joy knowing that I have Jesus and the Holy Spirit to help me. Knowing that not all is lost and there's still redemption. Only through the power of the HS and through Him. And the role I have to play? To submit. To surrender. To ask. To let go. To let Him.

Reminds me of one statement I read in Joyce Meyer's Battlefield of the mind: "Get to know the Holy Spirit. He is with you all the time as your Helper. Let Him help you."

Indeed, my heart is not pure. My heart is deceitful. My heart is scheming and my heart is sinful. And I pray and ask for the Holy Spirit to help me live Godly life for Him. With all its selfish interests, motives and attitude, I pray that these be let go and given to God for Him to change me. Amen.
