“In My Hidden Part of My Heart”

God desires to place within us His perfect desires. May it be a sobering thought that we are responsible to make good, godly deposits into our hearts. If we are fellowshipping with God, and hearing and reading His Word, those words are deep within us if we have received them with meekness. Yet there may be things in our innermost being that need to be gone. There may be things deep within us that we have permitted to remain, and it is time for us to clean house. As we seek Him daily for wisdom over our hearts, He is able to give us the exact wisdom, and grace to deal with ridding of anything that would be a hindrance to our walk with Him. Praise God that He is able to reveal to us the very things we cannot see in our own hearts.
 
In this life each of us walk through various trials, and how we react to them determines the condition of our hearts. For example, lacking to forgive someone can leave our hearts sore, angry, and it is the perfect breeding ground for bitterness. Then there may be times wrong desires proceed from the heart that is not seeking to be full of the living God. Our carnal desires will always deceive us.
 
My friend, a perfect heart is God‘s perfect will in you. Cherish the desire for a perfect heart, pursue it with all that you have, and long to please Him with it. Let God work in your heart, praise Him, and treasure every breath and moment you live, for it is a precious gift that you are to bless Him with.
 
Today I desire to cause you to ponder that the Lord desires that we seek Him and His perfect truth deep in our inner man. As we do this He promises to make us to know His wisdom that we can discern our desires that would lead us away from His perfect will. I encourage you to seek that His desires would become yours. It is then that you will know beyond a shadow of a doubt that your heart is desiring truth in the deepest parts of your being.
 
 
“Behold, You desire truth in the innermost being,
And in the hidden part [of my heart] You will make me know wisdom.”
Psalm 51:6. Amplified Version
