Faith Walk: Creating a Pure Heart

French Philosopher Francois La Rochefoucauld once wrote that we would be embarrassed by our best deeds “if the world were to see all our underlying motives.”

Most of us have a hard time determining our own motivations for doing things much less the motivations of others. Let us focus this day on asking God to redeem and purify our own motives and use us in spite of who we are, not because of who we are. David prayed in Psalms 51:10, “Create in me a pure heart.”
