Don't you just have that super strong feeling of guilt in you when you disappoint someone but they don't shout at you? I fall. I'm human. But God never shouts at me... He always rebukes me in a soft spoken way. And because of His gentleness I can't bear to be near Him. When I am dirty and He is clean... How can I bear to dirty Him by being near Him?
He spoke again, to me concerning Psalm 51:7-11
Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean;
Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
Make me hear joy and gladness,
That the bones you have broken may rejoice.
Hide Your face from my sins,
And blot out all my iniquities.
Create in me a clean heart, O God,
And renew a steadfast spirit within me.
Do not cast me away from Your presence,
And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.
As I read the last words of verse 11 He spoke once again to me, and said, "If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those that ask of Him?
Therefore My son,
I shall purge you with hyssop,
and you shall be clean.
I shall wash you with the blood of My Son,
and you shall be whiter than snow.
I shall make you hear joy and gladness,
that the bones I have broken may rejoice.
I shall hide my face from your sins,
and blot out all your iniquities.
I shall create in you a clean heart,
that breaks when My heart breaks.
And I shall also give you a steadfast spirit,
that shall not falter even in the face of adversity.
I shall not cast you away from My presence.
And I shall also not take away My Holy Spirit from you."
