Pure in Heart

Matthew 5:8

Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.

Pure-
1.free from anything of a different, inferior, or contaminating kind; free from extraneous matter: pure gold; pure water.
2. unmodified by an admixture; simple or homogeneous.
3.of unmixed descent or ancestry
4.free from foreign or inappropriate elements
5.clear; free from blemishes
6. unmixed, unadulterated, unalloyed, uncontaminated, untainted, unstained, undefiled, untarnished, immaculate, unpolluted, uncorrupted, modest, virtuous

In the world’s eyes, I am certainly not seen as pure but thankfully I don’t get my definition from the world. I am only what God sees me as. I am certainly not perfect but through the release of my will and seeking the will of HIM, I am made pure. It’s a daily decision to keep myself from that which draws me from the will of God. I choose to focus my mind on the good that He has made of me instead of the ugliness that the world wants me to believe. He alone can purify my heart. He alone knows my every part regardless of how easily I can be pulled down. He alone will save me from myself. I know that He alone is for me, even when everyone else around is against me.

Dear Lord I thank You today for being steadfast, hanging in with me when my life gets messy. I can depend on You to bring me back out of the mud that I waller in and make me pure again. I dwell on this Lord because I want to be with you forever. Amen!
