Scripture

God blesses those whose hearts are pure, for they will see God.

Application

God loves people who are pure in heart and He promises that they will see Him.

The word pure (in Greek, katharos) means clean, not dirty or stained. To be pure in heart means to be forgiven or righteous To be pure in heart does not mean that we never sin or that we never think about bad things or that our thoughts are always focused on the Lord. You can be pure in heart even though you struggle with sin and temptation, You just need to confess it to the Lord and ask Him to forgive you.

The person who is pure in heart knows how to walk in God’s ways even when they are sometimes sidetracked by sin, The compass in their heart always points them back to the Lord.

The promise for these people is that they will see God. If your heart’s desire is to see God, you will want nothing other than that.

My desire is that, each day I grow closer in my relationship with the Lord. And that in this way, I will see Him more clearly. And when I get to heaven, I will see Him in all His glory with unveiled eyes.

Prayer

Lord, please make me pure in heart so that I can see you. Amen.
