Have mercy on me, O God, according to your steadfast love; according to your abundant mercy blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me. Against you, you alone, have I sinned, and done what is evil in your sight, so that you are justified in your sentence and blameless when you pass judgement. Indeed, I was born guilty, a sinner when my mother conceived me. You desire truth in the inward being; therefore teach me wisdom in my secret heart. Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones that you have crushed rejoice. Hide your face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God, and put a new and right spirit within me. (Psalm 51:1-10, NRSV)
Do yo know what you have done wrong? Do you think about the mistakes you have made?
Most of us think about the things we messed up. We spend a lot of time going over the details of our failures in our minds and have a hard time letting them go.
We are constantly looking at our failures, how can we see the wonder that God sees when He looks at us? He sees a wonderful creation made to wonders! If we can only lay our burdens at His feet, give up our mistakes and hand them over to Him and allow Him to create a new and right spirit within us so that we can have a clean heart and be focused on Him.
Give up your mistakes to the one who created you to be a wonder!
