Create in me a NEW HEART

Lately the Lord has been working on my attitude.  To those that don't know me, I am not a very nice person. Sometimes I'm very insensible and don't show compassion or understanding to those who don't know Him.  God the Father has been showing me and working on my character to be like His Son.
I realize that literally, I need a heart transplant.  -.-
When reading His Word I have come to several passages that talk about how God wants to change our hearts.  He wants to make us new.
I was reading Psalms 51:10 where King David begs the Lord to give him a new heart:

"Create in me a new heart, O God.  Renew a loyal spirit within me."

Yes, I might be needing some of that.

Then, I come to Ezekiel, right before I read about the valley of dry bones...

"I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit in you, I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh." ~ Ezekiel 36:26

I beg Him to grant me purity of heart so that I may honor Him and live according to His will with my life, so that others may see His Son living in me.  

I am grateful that the Lord shows me compassion, and shows me His ways.

All is grace,
