So Blessed - Part 6

Hello, you know everyone wants to be blessed, people say blessings over their food, over their sleep or may God Bless you, and we know that all blessings are from God, as in James 1:17, ASV "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, neither shadow that is cast in turning,". If we think about how much God loves us, we will see that we are So Blessed. Today I want to look at a verse from Matthew 5:8 that tells us specifically how we can be blessed today. "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God." In otherwords if your heart is pure as in James 4:8 (ESV)8 "Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded." and like in Psalm 24:3–4 (ESV)3 "Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord? And who shall stand in his holy place? 4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not lift up his soul to what is false and does not swear deceitfully." then you will be blessed! So what does a pure heart mean? How do you get a pure heart? Well, in these verses above it says "Draw near to God...", "Cleanse your hands you sinners..." So if you and I will spend time thinking, talking and listening to God, and then we will ask his forgiveness for the things that we do that is displeasing to God, then we will have a pure heart.
