Is Your Heart Corrupt?! Probably! Look Deeply Within, If You Are Able? Take a Long Look at Yourself. You Will See You and I Need a Savior, Need a Saving! Please Ponder That If You Can?

Are You and Satan on the Throne of Your heart? Or is Christ on the Throne of Your heart to rule?

Heart Corruptions

O God, May Your Spirit speak in me that I may speak to You. I have no merit, let the merit of Jesus stand for me. I am undeserving, but I look to Your tender mercy. I am full of infirmities, want, sin – You are full of grace.

I confess my sin, my frequent sin, my willful sin; All my powers of body and soul are defiled: A fountain of pollution is deep within my nature.

There are chambers of foul images within my being; I have gone from one odious room to another – walked in a no-man’s land of dangerous imaginations, pried into the secrets of my fallen nature.

I am utterly ashamed that I am what I am in myself; I have no green shoot in me nor fruit, but thorns and thistles; I am a fading leaf that the wind drives away; I live bare and barren as a winter tree, unprofitable, fit to be hewn down and burnt.

Lord, do you have mercy on me? You have struck a heavy blow at my pride, at the false God of self, and I lie in pieces before You.

But YOU have given me another Master and Lord, Your Son, Jesus – and now my heart is turned towards holiness and my life speeds as an arrow from a bow towards complete obedience to You.

Help me in all my doings to put down sin and to humble pride. Save me from the love of the world and the pride of life, from everything that is natural to fallen man, and let Christ’s nature be seen in me day by day.

Grant me to bear You will without repining, and delight to be not only chiseled, squared, fashioned, but separated from the old rock where I have been embedded so long, and lifted from the quarry to the upper air, where I may be built in Christ forever.

Amen.
