“Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.”

(Psalm 51.10 KJV)

“God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry."

(1 Corinthians 10.13-14 ESV)

To cleanse my heart, God had just performed a major and very painful “surgery” on my life. To remove my pride and my dependence on worldly treasure.

My heart aches, but my faith is comforted by God’s faithfulness. I do not know what the future holds; all I have is God and his promises.
