God works from inside out and not outside in. He is more interested in the end result. He knows that if the change can come in our hearts, then our actions will also change. 

Jeremiah 13:10 ‘I the LORD search the heart and examine the mind, to reward
each person according to their conduct, according to what their deeds deserve.’

God works within our hearts to bring about change so that he can use us.

Malachi 3:3 ‘Like a refiner of silver He will sit and closely watch as the dross is
burned away. He will purify. … refining them like gold or silver, so that they will
do their work for God with pure hearts.’ There is a ‘work’ that God has prepared for you to do for Him.

But He desires that when we do this work for Him it comes out of hearts that have been prepared by Him so that His purposes and will will prevail and so that He will get the glory.

THE REQUEST
Perhaps you realise today that God is at work within your heart. Maybe you know that He is allowing your heart to be purified. I desire to have a pure heart and I am sure the same is true for you. However, life happens and in the process we pick up hurts, disappointment or exposure to things that have left a marked effect on our lives. It is at this point that we need to return to God and give Him our broken, damaged and polluted hearts and ask Him to do a miracle and to create something new. This is a legitimate request. The writer in psalms asked God to do this for him and you and I can ask God to do the same for us.

Psalm 51:10 ‘Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a
steadfast spirit within me.’

Embrace the work that God is doing in your heart. It the surest way to get to where you need to be. If this is what you need today, then ask God to do just that!
