PURE HEART
To have a pure heart, we must be free of all our own personal agendas. We must be filled with God's motives, attitudes, and plans. Then we will see Him everywhere we look. It's like all the clouds in the sky going away, leaving a crisp bright blue sky. Only then does the sun shine brightly and we see it's rays of light everywhere.
Heavenly Father, we know that You are the only One who can give us a pure heart. We ask with all our being that You will make our hearts as pure and holy as Yours. Help us to guard our hearts so that we will keep them clean and pleasing in Your sight. We pray this in Jesus' name.
Read Matthew 5:8
"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." (NIV)
"Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God." (KJV)
Love this post. I've had a rough couple of years and was exhausted from it all. It brought a not so nice trait in me over one situation that any other time I could have held my head high, my heart steady and my concrete but I was exhausted. I had to constantly recelebrate my walk with the Lord. Last week I spent time Psalms reading what I knew I needed to hear. Hugs. Tammy
