Beatitude 17 jan

Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see god.

How can we become pure in heart?

·   Ask and it will be given to you

·   Create in me a clean heart o god and put a new and right spirit within me.

·   Shun youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along those who call on the lord from a pure heart

·   Be excellent in what is good, be innocent of evil, and the god of peace will crush Satan

This tells us that :

1.Jesus was comparing our eyes to our hearts.

2. As eyes allow light to enter our bodies, our hearts bring light into our souls.

3. When our hearts are filled with bad  thoughts, we are full of darkness.

4.When our hearts are pure, we can   see god, we can also see others in a godly way.
