There is a beautiful song produced by Vineyard music, in which the lyrics simply says.
Change my heart Oh God, make it ever true.
Change my heart Oh God, may I be like You.
You are the potter, I am the clay,
Mold me and make me, this is what I pray.
Change my heart Oh God, make it ever true.
Change my heart Oh God, may I be like You.
Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.
2 Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
This morning’s podcast is filled with scripture relevant to the topic, I will attempt to slow down as we address each. I truly believe today’s message is intended for someone listening that may at this very moment be struggling with and/or wrestling issues that deal directly with the heart.
Today’s podcast is titled.
What's on your mind
The most grievous period many face in life, is time alone with our true selves. We are familiar with the phrase, a penny for your thoughts, as I am often asked, what's on your mind. In typical fashion and right on que, my (our) response, like many of you listening today is, nothing, but truthfully enough, there is never a moment in which are minds are totally blank. It is in our nature, we are always, constantly thinking, craving, yearning for something as our brains long for information and imagined stimulation, albeit good or bad, Godly or not. The mind’s desire are seeds planted within the heart, weeds and tares that grow amongst the fruits of the spirit, but little by little suffocate the abundance of life thereof.
David said in the 139th Psalm, 23-24
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:
24 And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
As we battle our deepest desires, we try our best to tamper them down, being careful not to allow them to fester, grow and mature into something (envy and strife [James 3:16]), that will unsurprisingly causes us irreversible harm.
