Psalms 51:1 KJV
If you are burdened; if you feel like the weight of the world is on your shoulders; you have unrepented sin in your heart!
“Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.”
Psalms 51:2-3 KJV
The only way to be free from that load is to acknowledge your sin, confess and repent! (James 5:16)
“Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.”
Psalms 51:4 KJV
The sins of unforgiveness you carry hurts you, and you alone! It is a breach between you and God! It has no impact on the one who hurt you. It has no impact on the person you judged, however, that unforgiveness will keep you from being forgiven by God! (Matt 6:14-15)
“Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.”
Psalms 51:6 KJV
You, who think you have forgiven; if it still hurts - it's not forgiven!
The sins of unforgiveness are a wall separating us from God! It's a wall we erect to protect us from further hurts; each hurt, a stone set in place, mortared by unforgiveness! That wall is actually is a barrier to God's healing the hurt and the spiritual root cause for many diseases! The wall, you erected in your heart, has to be torn down - stone by stone!
“Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice. Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.”
Psalms 51:7-9 KJV
Only in dealing with your sins will you be made clean. Only through confession and repentance will your iniquities be blotted out and joy imparted to you!
“Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.”
Psalms 51:10-11 KJV
Coming face to face with your sin is painful! True repentance breaks your heart! And is SO necessary! It's the hard, unrepentant heart that that will face God's wrath on the Judgment Day!
“But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;”
Romans 2:5 KJV
God wants you to humble yourself; lay down your pride!
“Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.” Proverbs 16:18 KJV
“For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.”
Psalms 51:16-17 KJV
To be made whole; to be made pure; to be conformed to His nature, you MUST deal with your sin!
“Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit. Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.” Psalms 51:12-13 KJV
Repent - while there is still time!
Even so - MARANATHA!
