9. Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.10. Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.11. Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.12. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.13. Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee. Psalm 51:9-13?? Man is void of any power, to remove sin. It is God, through Christ, that creates, and renews the heart of man. C.H. Spurgeon, said, "The Lord knows very well that you cannot change your own heart, and cannot cleanse your own nature. But He also knows that He can do both." The Lord, creates, that new heart, when you ask Jesus to come into your life. Salvation, that was lost in sin, is restored, the bondage to sin is broken. With the new heart, comes, a new life. For the old man, could never lead a lost soul to the Savior. We are called to preach, and teach, and not with just words, but our daily actions, we become, living letters, to the world, of Christ's, love, goodness, and mercy, and strength. Amen.
