Scripture:

Mark 7:21-23
21 "For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed the evil thoughts, fornications, thefts, murders, adulteries, 
22 deeds of coveting and wickedness, as well as deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride and foolishness. 
23 "All these evil things proceed from within and defile the man."
NASU


Thoughts:

As much as we may wish we didn't know these sins, as much as we may not want to admit it to anyone else, we all can find ourselves in here.  Whether they stayed within our hearts or came to the surface, they have been there.

Praise be to God, who takes these broken vessels like us, and refashions them into something beautiful for His eternal home.  He uses us in our new form as part of His team here on earth, not holding over us the brokenness of our past or the battles of today.

2 Corinthians 5:17
17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.
NASU
