Pure of Heart

We enjoy the blessed life by seeing God as He is and therefore cultivating a simple, pure devotion to Him.   "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. Matthew 5:8   We enjoy the blessed life by seeing God as He is and therefore cultivating a simple, pure devotion to Him.   Identifying the things that keep you from devoting your heart fulling to Him. Placing those things under His Lordship to pursue the high-life found only in Him. Who or what competes for your heart's allegiance to the God who made you for Himself? What good things (relationships, goals), evil things (porn, addictions), or neutral things (money, stuff) are you treating as ultimate, and therefore devoting yourself to them? How will you place those things under God's Lordship to honor Him and enjoy the life only He can give you as you devote yourself fully to Him? What do you need to turn from in order to give Him first place in your heart? How is God calling you to devote your heart more fully to Him today?
