Pure
11 One who loves a pure heart and who speaks with grace
will have the king for a friend. Proverbs 22:11
What do you think of when you hear the word Pure? Is it the white snow, the clear and clean running stream, or the purity of a young child? When you think of a pure heart, the thought of being completely clean might be something that enters your mind, and when God is described in the Bible the sheer brightness described must have been a blinding pure light when nothing else was seen. To have a pure heart these days is hard, because the enemy challenges us at every turn. I look at the anger and hate being spewed these days, and I wonder if there is any purity in these people. I also realize that people who spew hate and not love for others don't have many friends. Think about those around you who show grace and love to others, people usually don't have a bad thing to say about those people. That is because they are blessed with friendship because of their kindness and purity of heart. I would much rather be blessed with a kinship with others and a pure heart, than have a heart that is dark and no real love to give others. Speak with Grace verbally and online the next time you say something.
Have a great weekend.
Matt
