(part of this research was taken from the NLT Study Bible - 2nd edition; the scriptures were some that spoke to my heart and I felt went along with the examples; the last little "sign" is a verse I read earlier this morning and then it popped up in my images as a reminder to keep this one close to my "heart" as I pray about a certain situation)
A new heart...ahh.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great post Deb. One of my favorite scriptures from Psalm, Create in me a clean heart, O God. Psalm 51:10
ReplyDeleteGood post today....and something we should all remind ourselves of daily.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE these thoughts today about The Heart! I like also what Mary H. said above..."Create in me a clean heart, O God." I think of that verse often. Only God can cleanse the heart and make it new again...so thankful that He is willing and able to do this!! Wonderful post today. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThis verse about a new heart and new spirit has been coming up often for me this week.....I'm listening, Lord.
