31 days of Five Minute Free Writes ~ Create

Day 3 of the Five Minute Friday free writes prompt. The word for today is create

When I saw this word, the first thing that popped into my head was making things in our homeschool. We create a lot of things over the year and have created many things over the past 12 years that we have been homeschooling. And I am sure there will be many more things that are created over the next several years until my youngest graduates.

The next thing that came to mind when I saw this word is the verse found in Psalm 51. Verse 10 says “Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. What does it mean to create a clean heart in me? David wrote this Psalm after he had sinned with Bathsheba and had her husband killed. He was desperate to have a renewed heart with God. Because he knew he did wrong, he wanted to have a clean slate with God. He wanted to erase the sin from his life. He knew that only God is able to forget our sins. Even if we can’t forget them, when we pray to God with a sincere heart to forgive our sins, He is able to just erase them and forget them.

Give your sins over to God no matter how big you think they are. He will take them from you and erase them from His memory and give you a clean and renewed heart and spirit today.
