Bible Verse for January 7th.

Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
Matthew 5:8
New International Version Bible

This is the goal and desire of every child of God....to see Jesus. However, it comes with a
prerequisite. We must have pure hearts and we can have this by letting Jesus live in our
hearts and by living a life of purity and holiness before Almighty God. It's ongoing and
we have to continually come before God, asking Him to create clean hearts and renew
right spirits within us. We are living in an age when moral values are on the decline and
its imperative that we hold fast to the precepts set out for us in the Word of God. As
children of God, we have to guard our hearts and minds lest we become desensitized to
the core biblical values that we need to uphold.
Psalm 139 tells us that we should ask God to search our hearts and point out anything that
offends Him and lead us along the path of everlasting life. God requires clean hands and
pure hearts from us and as we surrender our hearts, bodies and minds to Him, we have
the blessed assurance that someday we will see God.
Thank you Lord for loving me. My desire is to see You, Lord Jesus. Create a clean heart
and renew a right spirit within me Lord. Search me and show me anything that offends
You and help me to live in righteousness and purity. I love you, Jesus. Amen!

Be Blessed!
