cleansing and joy

Psalm 51:7-9 (JDV)

Psalm 51:7 Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
Psalm 51:8 Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones you have crushed rejoice.
Psalm 51:9 Turn your face away from my sins and wipe out all my guilt.

cleansing and joy

No cleansing, no joy. No forgiveness, no rejoicing.

The heart of a believer lives for a right relationship with God. We cannot rest in a universe where sin separates us from our Savior. So, we lose our joy when we sin, and we cannot get it back until our Lord comes to us and reverses its curse.

Lord, come to us today, and right the wrongs that we have done. Restore to us the joy you gave us when we first found you.
