Purifying the Heart

Mary

I see people battling within themselves, confused about so many things that happen to them. They do not understand that evil is sown in their hearts. These hidden seeds constantly try to ruin all that God has planted. No solutions are possible until this root problem is faced.

O reader, the way to do this is quite easy. That is why I speak. First, you must realize that this power of evil is planted deeply within you and is constantly covered over. Second, you must uncover the evil and let it be revealed. This is called a good confession. Third, you must ask God for his power to overcome these evil seeds.

Do this frequently, because the weeds are always growing. Do not forget that you must not try to pull them out by yourself. God, who created the field and planted good seed within you, knows the weeds that need to be removed.

Comment: Many human enterprises like marriage, friendship or career, are destroyed by our own inner sinfulness. Purifying our hearts gives new possibilities for success.
