清洁的心以耶和华的心连心

我们的心与神的心连心，意思就是我们要将我们的心放在那些神所注重的事物 （歌罗西书 3：1－2） 并将阻碍我们亲近神的事物都放下 （希伯来书 12：1）。主耶稣决定以耶和华的心为心（约翰福音 5：23； 6：38； 16：17－18）。

清洁的心不是分散的心

上帝要我们将全心完全地交托于他：“并且尽心、尽智、尽力爱他，又爱人如己，就比一切燔祭和各样祭祀好的多。” （马可福音 12：33）

让清洁的心作为新鲜的开始

求神给我们一个清新的心，使我们有一个新的开始。（诗篇 51：10）

求告神：

“神啊，求你鉴察我，知道我的心思，试炼我，知道我的意念，看在我里面有甚么恶行没有，引导我走永生的道路。”（诗篇 139：23－24）

A pure heart matches God’s heart

Synchronizing with God’s heartbeat means we focus our heart on those things that matter most to God (Colossians 3:1-2) and letting go of anything that hinders our ability to align with God’s heart (Hebrews 12:1). Jesus matched his heart with the Father’s heart (John 5:23; 6:38; 16:17-18).

A pure heart is undivided

God wants our whole heart committed fully to him: “To love him with all your heart, with all your understanding, and with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself is more important than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.” (Mark 12:33)

Let a pure heart be a fresh start

Ask God to create in us a fresh heart so that we might have a fresh start. (Psalm 51:10)

Ask the Lord

“ Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. Point out anything in me that offends you
and lead me along the path of everlasting life. ”  (Psalm 139:23-24)
