There is a holiness of heart and there is a holiness of life. These two are to be joined. Without desire for holiness of heart, holiness of life is a futile attempt at works righteousness. When the heart is pure, then a holy life will follow. Father, cleanse my heart and it will be holy, pure and clean. Enable me to live out what you are doing in me. May I do this in humility and without any hint of feeling that I am better than anyone else, even the worst of sinners. Amen!
“Let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.” Hebrews 10:22 (NASB)
