While walking along a street next to a creek, I was thanking the Lord for nature's beauty and the diversity of His creation. "How lovely is Your dwelling place," I prayed.
I heard the Lord say (not audibly), "And where do I dwell?" After a moment's thought, I realized He lives in my heart.
"Oh, no, Lord. My heart is not lovely! It is hard and selfish and stubborn, and mean, and wicked." He said, "Don't consider things as they once were, or even as you perceive them to be now. Don't diminish the work I have done and am doing even now. I am redeeming, restoring, renewing your heart, and much has already been accomplished. If I call your heart 'lovely,' that is sufficient for you."
