Pure Heart

 "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. Matthew 5:8"


When the Word of God talks about having a pure heart, it refers to living a holy life without anything in the heart that displeases God. When it says, "for they shall see God," this sentence has two meanings: seeing God now in your daily life, and seeing God after death, living with Him eternally in His glory.

If you allow evil and bad things to dominate your heart, they will prevent you from seeing God's grace in your life. There are things that, if they enter your heart, will hinder your understanding and blind your eyes from seeing God's grace in your life.

Therefore, if you have a pure heart, even when you go through challenges, you are confident that God is with you, as David said, "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. Psalm 23:4."

When your heart is pure, the Holy Spirit dwells within you, giving you the wisdom to know how God is involved in your daily life. The Word of God says, "The way of the wicked is like darkness; they do not know what makes them stumble. Proverbs 4:19." But if you have a pure heart before God, His word says, "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28."

Bitterness, anger, jealousy, and lust prevent you from seeing God's grace in your life; you feel as if God is not with you. They make you see only negative things even in your children, your husband, your work. You fail to see that in those things God has given you, though they have weaknesses, they also have blessings. Therefore, today, pray to God to cleanse your heart, ask Him to change and purify you so that you can see His goodness and presence with you.

Prayer: Oh, LORD, have mercy on me and cleanse my heart with your precious blood so that I may see you in my daily life.

THE TIME TO RECEIVE THE FRUITS OF YOUR LABOUR IS NOW

  “Say to the righteous that it shall be well with them, For they shall eat the fruit of their doings. Isaiah 3:10 NKJV This is a powerful word of hope as you begin this month.

THE WISEST THING TO DO IN YOUR LIFE

  Daniel 12:3 (GNT) says, “The wise leaders will shine with all the brightness of the sky. And those who have taught many people to do what is right will shine like the stars forever.” This verse speaks about the reward God will give His faithful people on the last day. Those who live with wisdom and lead others to righteousness will shine like stars in the sky—forever. What a powerful promise! Today, I want to teach you how to be wise so you can receive this reward. The Bible says in James 1:5 (NKJV), “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God...”  This means wisdom comes from God, and He is willing to give it to anyone who asks. When you receive God’s wisdom, you will learn how to live the right way and make decisions that please Him. You will also have the power to guide others. The wisest thing you can ever do in life is to preach the Gospel—to help people turn away from sin and accept Jesus Christ. That is the kind of wisdom that brings eternal rewards. Also, if you ...

DO NOT COMPARE YOURSELF TO OTHERS

  "I know what it is to be poor or to have plenty, and I have lived under all kinds of conditions. I know what it means to be full or to be hungry, to have too much or too little. Philippians 4:12 CEV" God’s purpose for humankind is for everyone to succeed, but each person has their own season. Just as each flower blooms in its own time, each of us has a time set by God. When that season comes, God will make you prosper. Until then, keep praying and working hard, trusting in His timing. When you look at your peers, former classmates, family members, or others in your age group and see their success, it’s easy to start comparing. Maybe a friend just built a new house or got a high-paying job, or perhaps someone you know is getting married. If you feel like you’ve achieved more, you may feel good about yourself. But if you feel like you’re still “behind,” it’s easy to feel discouraged and inadequate. This is where your perspective can become distorted. Some people think they ar...
