Pure In Heart

Tuesday September 17, 2024

When we come into recovery one of our priorities must be sorting life according to what is true. We are sick and in need of healing, and that is the truth. We are weak, sinful, and sometimes crazy. That is also true. We need to be forgiven, cleansed, and enlightened by the truth of God’s word. If we are to live from a pure heart, we need to let the Bible be our handbook and do what it says without any compromise.

Blessed are those whose hearts are pure. They will see God. Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. (Matthew 5:8 NIRV, Psalm 119:105 NKJV)

God sent His son Jesus into the world to take on human flesh. Jesus, who never sinned, died for our sin so that we might have a new life purified from all sin by His blood. When we admit and confess our sin, and accept what Jesus did for us, His Holy Spirit comes to live within us. He is the “Higher Power” who will give us the will and desire to live in a way that is right and good.

He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. (2 Corinthians 5:21 NASB)

God’s way of life and His agenda need to become our priority if we are to live life from a pure heart. We need to guard what we have been given. The evil one will prowl around seeking to turn our hearts away from God. Through prayer and meditation, we can be in conscious contact with God, praying for the knowledge of His will and the power to carry it out.

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:6-7 NKJV)

Prayer: Loving God, I repent of my past sins and want my life from this day forward to reflect the truth that the blood of Jesus has purified me from all sin. Help me to prioritize my relationship with You and to live my life guided by Your Word as recorded in the Bible. Amen
