A sacrifice to God is a contrite spirit; God does not despise a contrite and humble heart.
You now have the offering you are to make. Search within your heart. Your heart must be crushed. Are you afraid that it might perish so? You have the reply: Create a clean heart in me, O God. For a clean heart to be created, the unclean one must be crushed.
We should be displeased with ourselves when we commit sin, for sin is displeasing to God. Sinful though we are, let us at least be like God in this, that we are displeased at what displeases him.
In some measure then you will be in harmony with God’s will, because you find displeasing in yourself what is abhorrent to your Creator.
