Proverbs 22: 11
He who loves purity of heart and whose speech is gracious, the king is his friend.
O my Father, You are so pure and clean and holy and righteous, I desire to be of pure heart like You, I want my every motive to be clean of any corruption; then my speech, my every word will be gracious and edifying, not selfish or defensive or self-seeking, but powerful to the building up of the hearer to draw him or her to You, my Lord.
Teach me Your ways, that my end-all and be-all will be only Your glory, that Your fragrance emanating from me will draw others to You, that all Your lost sheep will be found, and that there will be one fold and one Shepherd!
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
