Absolute Unblemished Purity
Either Jesus Christ is the supreme authority
on the human heart,
or He is not worth paying any attention to.
Am I prepared to trust the penetration
of His Word into my heart,
or would i prefer to trust
my own "innocent ignorance"?
If i will take an honest look at myself,
becoming fully aware of my so-called
innocence and putting it to the test,
I am very likely to have a rude awakening
that what Jesus Christ said is true,
and I will be appalled at the possibilities
of the evil and the wrong within me.
But as long as I remain under the
false security of my own "innocence,"
I am living in a fool's paradise.
Purity is something far too deep
for me to arrive at naturally.
[The Way to Purity- Oswald Chambers]
Dear Lord,
I hand myself over to You today.
I want the Holy Spirit
in my life and in my heart,
so that my life can be
absolutely unblemished
and absolutely pure before You.
PLEASE, help me today,
be it in my actions,
my words or my thoughts.
I don't want to live in fool's paradise anymore,
but to live in your Kingdom from this day forward.
Amen.
