Create in me a pure heart, God, and make my spirit right again. Psalm 51:10
We are thirsty.Not thirsty for fame, possessions, passion, or romance. We’ve drunk from those pools. They are salt water in the desert. They don’t quench – they kill “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness. . . .”
Righteousness. That’s it. That’s what we are thirsty for. We’re thirsty for a clean conscience. We crave a clean slate. We yearn for a fresh start. We pray for a hand that will enter the dark cavern of our world and do for us the one thing we can’t do for ourselves – make us right again.
