Have mercy upon me, O God, According to Your lovingkindness; According to the multitude of Your tender mercies, Blot out my transgressions. (Psalms 51:1 NKJV) If you are burdened; if you feel like the weight of the world is on your shoulders; you have unrepented sin in your heart! Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, And cleanse me from my sin. For I acknowledge my transgressions, And my sin is always before me. (Psalms 51:2-3 NKJV) The only way to be free from that load is to acknowledge your sin, confess and repent! (James 5:16) Against You, You only, have I sinned, And done this evil in Your sight— That You may be found just when You speak, And blameless when You judge.(Psalms 51:4 NKJV) The sins of unforgiveness you carry, hurts you and you alone! It is a breach between you and God! It has no impact on the one who hurt you. It has no impact on the person you judged, however, that unforgiveness will keep you from being forgiven by God! (Matt 6:14-15) Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts, And in the hidden part You will make me to know wisdom. (Psalms 51:6 NKJV) You who think you have forgiven; if it still hurts - its not forgiven! The sins of unforgiveness are a wall separating us from God! Its a wall we erect to protect us from further hurts; each hurt, a stone set in place, mortared by unforgiveness! That wall is actually is a barrier to Gods healing the hurt and the spiritual root cause for many diseases! The wall, you erected in your heart, has to be torn down - stone by stone! Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Make me hear joy and gladness, That the bones You have broken may rejoice. Hide Your face from my sins, And blot out all my iniquities. (Psalms 51:7-9 NKJV) Only in dealing with your sins will you be made clean. Only through confession and repentance will your iniquities be blotted out and joy imparted to you! Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me away from Your presence, And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me. (Psalms 51:10-11 NKJV) Coming face to face with your sin is painful! True repentance breaks your heart! And is SO necessary! Its the hard, unrepentant heart that that will face Gods wrath on the Judgment Day! But in accordance with your hardness and your impenitent heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God, (Romans 2:5 NKJV) God wants you to humble yourself; lay down your pride! Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall.(Proverbs 16:18 NKJV) For You do not desire sacrifice, or else I would give it; You do not delight in burnt offering. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, A broken and a contrite heart— These, O God, You will not despise. (Psalms 51:16-17 NKJV) To be made whole; to be made pure; to be conformed to His nature, you MUST deal with your sin! Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, And uphold me by Your generous Spirit. Then I will teach transgressors Your ways, And sinners shall be converted to You. (Psalms 51:12-13 NKJV) Repent - while there is still time! Even so - MARANATHA!
