Jeremiah 17:9 (NKJV) 9 “The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it?
No one but God truly knows our heart. He knows it inside and out. And this verse describes the state of every man’s heart.
It doesn’t sound very pretty, does it?
Although many may like to think that this type of heart is only in those people that show themselves by doing bad and evil things, it’s not the case.
And unless we understand this and accept it, we will never get to a place where God can help us.
This is the truth about our own heart, and we need to take it in and hear it personally.
Our hearts need healing, restoration, and purifying every day.
James 4:8 (NKJV) 8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
Drawing close to God, and having a humble and repentant heart will help us take care of those things in our heart. His word will help us and He will draw near to us.
He will do a marvelous work on our hearts over time if we will let Him.
Amen.
