Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right, persevering, and steadfast spirit within me.
Psalm 51:10 AMP
Renew.
You only need to renew something if we have it, but its old, tired, tarnished...broken.
David is just like us...at times he had it together & then there were times like this when he was heartbroken at his own sin, his own poor choices...and he knew he needed renewal.
All of us need this sometimes.
We need to lean into God - cry out to Him - and into the christian community that we have & seek renewal... and sometimes we need to be there for others...to help them with whatever it is they're carrying, to be God's hands and feet in a hurting world.
Will you be that person others can lean into?

...four men arrived carrying a paralyzed man on a mat. They couldn't bring him to Jesus because of the crowd, so they dug a hole through the roof above his head. Then they lowered the man on his mat, right down in front of Jesus... Mark 2:3-4 NLT Great account of inventiveness and determination to get their friend to see Jesus. Love this. Do you wonder about the back story? Are these the same 4 people who bring this man food? Take him to the toilet every day. Clean him up. Does he live with one of them? Are they family? Are there whole families or groups of people in the background who have supported and cared for this man? A group of children who grew up seeing their parents love in action? Probably. Healing Help Hope These things are found in community. These 4 guys are the heroes here. The upfront people. One day it will be interesting to see who the background heroes are. #loveinaction #community #inthistogether #walkingeachotherhome #gospelofmark
