A RIGHT SPIRIT
David as Psalmist wrote:“Create in me a clean heart, O God,
and renew a right spirit within me.”
(Psalm 51:10)
Maybe the deepest and most common cry of us all:
A clean heart: the inner mind, the inside of us, the emotions and mental sets…we want them clean and free of dirt and death.
A renewed spirit: this also comes from cleansing and it comes from repentance and a desire not to cling to past and wrong images, ideas and identities.
Titus said it this way: “But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward mankind appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of rebirth and the renewal of the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, being justified by His grace, we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.” (Titus 3:4-7)
“Anyone who is thirsty may come to me! Anyone who believes in me may come and drink! For the Scriptures declare, ‘Rivers of living water will flow from his heart.’” Jesus
