Matthew 5:8
Blessed are the pure in heart, For they shall see God.
WOW!!! Pure in heart? Is that really possible? Completely pure from impurities, dirt, rust, bugs. A totally honest and pure heart with absolute pure motives. A heart that is 99 9/10% pure and clean. Even the cleanest glass of water has some impurities in it. How can any of us have a heart that is totally free from guilt and sin?
Remember this is "upside down" teaching. Jesus is talking about a "Pure Heart". It is not enough to clean up our life on the outside. A clean heart begins with cleaning up the inside - Our Heart, which is the real you, your emotions, feelings, attitudes, thoughts - who you really are. Jesus gave the example of cleaning up a cup to drink out of. It is not enough to just clean the outside of the cup and leave the inside dirty or filthy.
There is only one person who can clean us up on the inside - and that is Jesus. If we know Christ as our Savior, He begins to change our lives and we begin to see things in a different light. Our lives begin to change, grow and mature into the image of Christ.
When Christ begins to change our lives, we begin to see things differently. We begin to see God in our life and in the lives of others. We begin to see God in every aspect of our lives. We begin to see things in a whole new light. I remember when I trusted Christ as my Savior, over 50 years ago and it was like a light came on and I saw the world totally different. My whole life had changed from fear and worry to trust and peace in Christ. Not only that but I had a new Friend that I could share everything with and rely on.
Trust Christ as your Savior and START SEEING GOD!!!
