7 Purify me from my sins, and I will be clean;
wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
8 Oh, give me back my joy again;
you have broken me—now let me rejoice.
9 Don’t keep looking at my sins.
Remove the stain of my guilt.
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God.
Renew a loyal spirit within me.
11 Do not banish me from your presence,
and don’t take your Holy Spirit from me.
12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation,
and make me willing to obey you.

- Psalm 51
When you are precious to the Lord GOD in Heaven, your relationship with Him is such an important treasure to Him. He will hold you in His heart like cherished treasure. When you have this kind of intimacy with GOD and you have done a wrong thing that has displeased Him, He will surely tell you what is weighing in His heart. He will not let you go feeling okay. GOD will's hand will be heavy on you and you will feel so much sorrow. Until you ask for His forgiveness and has released forgiveness to you. This is how much GOD cares for you that He would not let you just be unaware of what He feels about what you have done until you make things right with Him. GOD is such a passionate lover and always wants us to maintain a good love relationship with Him.
We need to ask from GOD a pure heart. For nobody is good on their own not one is good enough (Psalm 53:2-3). When we ask things that will please Him, He will surely grant it to us especially when it will benefit us greatly. We have to desire what is pleasing to Him and ask it of Him. For we are frail beings unable to please GOD on our own, we need His Spirit to enable us to be willing and obedient to His ways. Many times it is difficult because our rebellious nature wants it's own way, but there's nothing GOD would not do for a heart that longs for His presence and seeks His love. GOD is after your heart....
