“A clean heart is a free heart. A free heart can love Christ with an undivided love in chastity, convinced that nothing and nobody will separate it from his love.” - Mother Teresa
In biblical usage, the term "purification" refers to a certain rite in the external worship of God. Purification seeks to remove legal uncleanness so that the purified individual may resume normal activity in society
There are 28 verses in the Bible that point us to the word purity.
Are our thoughts and actions pure? Are they clean from judgment, hate, and discord? Are they from a beautiful place within our hearts or are they tainted from the darkness that can overshadow our very existence? Do they weigh us down or do they give us the passage of amazing freedom!!
I do believe it’s a daily struggle!!! Our human DNA makes us work really hard to achieve even the slightest improvement towards purification... It’s a moment-to-moment decision... Do we have the strength to withstand the temptations and harshness of our troubled world ?? Or do we join in the chorus of discord and lash out with our thought or remorse??
What is a pure heart? How do we attain one? And if get close to having one is it sustainable ??
I can only share my thoughts and my flight to freedom experience...
As we try with all our strength to obtain this status we will find that it is not achievable without God... We must surrender our ties to things of this world... We must give Him our heart and ask Him to help us become better humans each and every day...
He knows our heart better than we can ever imagine. He sees every thought, every action, every word that is spoken...
I can say as we travel closer to His heart we will begin to understand Him.. and our desire will be to please Him ... We will learn to listen to that so small voice from within ... And They will guide your thoughts, actions, and our hearts. This process is getting you ready for the most amazing journey we could ever aspire to travel...
Into our Savior's arms... where the purest heart can be felt within our yearning souls...
It’s Him, It’s always Him!!!
He holds all the answers!!! He has traveled this road before us !!
And He knows we are forever a work in progress!! And yet He loves us anyway!!!
Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. Psalm 51:10
Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. 1 John 3:2-3
