Welcome to your first day of rest. Tomorrow is Sunday, a day that should be put aside to worship the Lord and to rest your body from physical activity. Each Sunday we will meditate on a verse that reflects having a clean heart. Because we all know that a spotless house doesn't make us truly happy. Only a clean heart can keep a smile on our faces.
Psalm 51:10
Create in me a clean heart, O God,
and renew a right spirit within me.
What does a clean heart look like?
Who judges wether the heart is clean or not?
Who cares about your heart more than anyone else?
Just like we have been pulling out our furniture this week looking for dust bunnies, take a moment to pull out the furniture in your life and look for "Me" bunnies. Search out your heart for selfish things you've tucked away, whether it be a secret, a personal pleasure, a blatant sin, or an old heartache. When you've found them, take them all one by one and lay them out in a straight row in front of God, and ask his forgiveness, ask for guidance, and ask Him to do a Spring Cleaning in your heart.
Never get caught up in the doing of life, (the things that keep us alive, sanitary, and sane) so that you forget the living of life. God is the breath in our life. He is why we are. He is why we do. Your whole world is resting in the palm of His hand, don't fight the one who loves you most.

Read this beautiful hymn written by Mac Lynch:
I came to the Lord with my heart full of sin,
Empty of purpose and troubled within.
My flesh had the vict'ry ,
My heart sought release -
Lord, wilt thou cleanse me and grant me Thy peace?
Create in me a clean heart, my Father;
Renew a right spirit in me.
Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation;
May Christ be seen in me.
I cried to the Savior "Forgive me, I pray."
He granted cleansing and sins fell away.
My bondage was ended,
My heart was set free;
Lord never more may I wander from Thee.
Create in me a clean heart, my Father;
Renew a right spirit in me.
Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation;
May Christ be seen in me.
