A few quick points here. To begin with, we belong to God. God made us, and we are God's. What's amazing is that the Psalmist notes that only those with clean hands and pure hearts can ascend the hill of the Lord. I could not stand in that group on my own, no matter how vigorously I wash my hands, but God has made a way for us to have clean hands and pure hearts, through the sacrifice of Christ. You receive blessing and righteousness from God as a free gift, unearned.
So let us lift up the gates of our hearts, to fling wide the doors we so instinctively shut, that God may come in and dwell with us!
