Blessed are the pure of heart, for they shall see God.
Lord, who may abide in Your tabernacle? Who may dwell in Your holy hill? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not lifted up his soul to an idol or sworn deceitfully. He shall receive blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation. Oh no Lord, we all have fallen short of Your glory but thank You for Your shed blood that washes us clean from all our unrighteousness. We have inability to approach You in worship, but all because of the King of glory may stand before You Almighty God. Jesus, You taught us that purifying our hearts is most important. It is a daily effort, so we need Your Spirit to expose the impure thoughts and intentions of our hearts and cleanse our minds to think on things that are true, lovely and praiseworthy. Forgive us Lord for when we walk in haughtiness because we have overcome or do not struggle in one area of life, while other parts lay in shambles. We can't hide them in boxes, sweep them under the rug, or pretend with others they are not there. With boldness we bring our hearts out in to the light of Your grace to be decontaminated. We thank You Lord for the revelation external ritual purity avails nothing. Oh, how sweet to trust in You Jesus and take You at Your word. Precious Jesus the one and only pure heart who laid down Your life to call us friend. May praise and adoration to You go continually before us today and every day. Amen
