a dirty heart

The heart is more desperately sick than all else, who can know it? I am thankful that the lord is so gracious in only revealing a small amount of my heart at a time, lest I be overwhelmed by the blackness of it. To realize that I don’t even know my own heart is a bit scary (especially when he shows me just a little.) And yet His patience as he reveals areas of weakness and sin while supplying the necessary items for change never cease to amaze me. On top of which he is always waiting and willing to help me all over again when I fall. I am so thankful to my lord for his patience, his never ending love, and his constant care for me and my dirty heart.
