Lord Jesus, you chose to be called the friend of sinners. By your saving death and resurrection free me from my sins. May your peace take root in my heart and bring forth a harvest of love, holiness, and truth.

A Pure heart
Psalm 51:10-12
10Create in me a pure heart, O God,
and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
11 Do not cast me from your presence
or take your Holy Spirit from me.
12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation
and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.
What happened to my innocence
my purity of spirit and heart
so long ago, so much iniquity to cleanse
what happened to the wisdom
You whispered to…

The Contrite Heart
William Cowper
The Lord will happiness divine
On contrite hearts bestow;
Then tell me, gracious God, is mine
A contrite heart or no?
I hear, but seem to hear in vain,
Insensible as steel;
If aught is felt, ’tis only pain,
To find I cannot feel.
I sometimes think myself inclined
To love Thee if I could;
But often feel another mind,
Averse to all that’s good.
My best desires are faint and few,
I fain would strive for more;
But when I cry, “My strength renew!”
Seem weaker than before.
Thy saints are comforted, I know,
And love Thy house of prayer;
I therefore go where others go,
But find no comfort there.
Oh make this heart rejoice or ache;
Decide this doubt for me;
And if it be not broken, break—
And heal it, if it be.

University of Brokenness | How to enroll | Courses offered
Have you ever felt : “If only someone/the other person knew that I was broken…”. Well, I got you. We all have been there. Sometime or the other, we find ourselves in a season when our hearts are wrenched and there’s no sign of love or of hope and we don’t have the surety of tomorrow. Though God is with us and He constantly ensures us that He will get us through this, we don’t listen. Is this you…

...Even when a matter is our own fault we can still pray about it. And the Lord can always be trusted to pity His people. [So do] not allow [your ashamed] mourning and grief to spin [you] into a rejection of the LORD’s power and help. [Instead, recognize that] this [state of humility is] a more necessary time than ever to seek the LORD.
J. Alec Motyer & David Guzik

I live with the one who is contrite and lowly in spirit...
For thus saith the high and lofty One
That inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy;
I dwell in the high and holy place,
With him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit,
To revive the spirit of the humble,
And to revive the heart of the contrite ones.

pourriture
ô mon Dieu, je suis désolé de vous avoir offensé, et je déteste tous mes péchés à cause de vos justes châtiments, mais surtout parce qu'ils vous offensent, mon Dieu, qui êtes tout bon et méritez tout mon amour. je prends fermement la résolution, avec l'aide de ta grâce, de ne plus pécher et d'éviter la prochaine occasion de péché. amen.
il n'y a plus rien dans cette coquille.
qu'est-ce qu'il m'a fait?
m'a dépouillé de mes ailes, de mon âme, de ma liberté
il m'a tué comme ça. m'a enchaîné à son cœur.
je ne suis rien.
je suis mort.

Heart Attitude
Isaiah 66:2b (Youngs Literal Translation)
… And unto this one I look attentively, Unto the humble and bruised in spirit, And who is trembling at My word.
Heart Attitude
It is interesting what men will do to get God’s attention. In Isaiah 66, God addresses all that man does for Him. He is not looking for what we can build for him or the sacrifices that we can make unto Him. …

THE PRODIGAL PRODUCTION
Sure guidance casting aside,
A pig he rides astride….
In foreign lands
On shifting sands
Made up of foolish pride….
–
Getting himself in a pickle,
Among those human hearts fickle….
The ficklest his
In sordid business,
His good graces down to a trickle.
–
Came to his senses he
Walks home in infamy….
Can he be restored
Or is his ox gored,
The contrite God loves with…

Brokenness Before Forgiveness
23 “Then Aaron shall come into the tent of meeting and shall take off the linen garments that he put on when he went into the Holy Place and shall leave them there. 24 And he shall bathe his body in water in a holy place and put on his garments and come out and offer his burnt offering and the burnt offering of the people and make atonement for himself and for the people. 25 And the fat of the…

"For you are not pleased with sacrifices; should I offer a burnt offering, you would not accept it.
My sacrifice, O God, is a contrite spirit; a heart contrite and humbled, O God, you will not spurn."
~ Psalms 51:18-19
