I have been wondering, thinking, musing, over Matthew 5:8 " Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God."
There is nothing about me that is pure. I am made from dust (definitely not clean) and I will return to dust.
The only purity I can lay claim to is that which Christ gives to me. My daily, hourly, moment by moment washing of forgiveness. Making me white as snow. I have nothing pure to offer. All that is of any worth is already from Christ. He is the gift giver. And what I might offer has been given by The Gift Giver, himself.
How selfish am I when I take what He gives and fail to give thanks? Obsessed with lies that say I am deserving. I deserve nothing. What I do deserve He does not give. The pure in heart will see God. I see the God of grace. My heart is not pure, yet He is remaking me. I see His grace.
