"Blessed are the pure
in heart, for they will see God" (Matthew 5:8).
The "pure in heart" are
those whose sins have been forgiven by the mercy of God through the blood of
Jesus. But the meaning of the original language also speaks of those whose
hearts have been cleansed as though "purified by fire" or prepared "like a vine
cleansed by pruning and so fitted to bear more fruit" (katharos, Strong's
Lexicon).
Purify my heart, Lord.
Give me the grace to keep giving my heart to You, allowing You to cleanse it,
heal it, purify it, and prepare it to bear the fruit of Your Spirit through my
life today and every day. Help me embrace Your pruning, with a heart full of
hope for all the good things to come. I want to be one of those who see God, one
of those who are pure in heart - not just when I go to heaven when I die, but as
Your bring Your heaven into my heart every day. In Jesus' name I pray,
Amen.
