“Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.”
(Psalm 51:10, NIV)

Give me a pure heart – that I may see Thee,
A humble heart – that I may hear Thee,
A heart of love – that I may serve Thee,
A heart of faith – that I may abide in Thee.

(a prayer by Dag Hammarskjold, as quoted in Sanctuary of the Soul by Richard J. Foster, page 97)

“Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they will see God.”
(Matthew 5:8, NIV)

      It’s true. Our hearts would then always be spiritually healthy.
