The Contrite Heart

I am continually learning how You work in my life.  I am learning that if I continuously have a contrite heart with You, then You can work in shaping me to how You want me to be.  The contrite heart allows me to be humble, in a condition of always being prepared to change if I have trespassed against You.  The contrite heart allows me to examine myself continuously to determine if I have erred and, most of all, be willing to correct it.  The contrite heart permits me to be sensitive to whatever I do, taking care that I am not doing anything that takes me away from Your Way.  The contrite heart creates the desire not to commit any transgression against You; rather, it creates the desire to want to do Your will.  As a result of having a contrite heart, I draw closer to You.  That is my desire.

O Lord, let me, please, continue to have a contrite heart.
