Pure in Heart

Pure in HeartGod’s desire is that we live with a pure heart. Someone with a pure heart has a single-minded devotion to God that will bring peace with God and positively direct the person’s thoughts, feelings, and actions towards the will of God. A pure heart will result in living an honest and transparent life before God and others. --- Many people desire to live a blessed life. What if God’s idea of the blessed life is totally different from the life you seek? In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus teaches about kingdom values that lead to happiness.
