We have already established that I am not {in this current season of crazy life} able to maintain the pace of a post every.single.day for 31 straight days, no matter how passionate I am about the topic.
There was a time {before God got a hold of my heart} that I would have posted every day, regardless of what it cost and regardless of whether or not I had something to say out of a sense of obligation and self imposed guilt. I am actually relieved that Jesus is freeing me from the trap of perfectionism.
I want to close out the series with a brief reminder of why we need clean hearts.
God desires intimacy with us. He created us with a need for intimacy with Him.
God dwells in our heart, His Spirit resides there.
I don’t like strangers to come to my house when it is a mess. Why would I be okay with a dirty, cluttered heart to welcome my Father?
Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. ~ James 4:8
Let’s do the work of cleaning our hearts for God.
let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. ~Hebrews 10:22-23
He has promised us hope! Draw near to Him, clean out your heart and hold on to the promise of life in Him. There is nothing better than Jesus!
