“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.” Matthew 5:8
“Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. “Psalms 51:10
“One who loves a pure heart and who speaks with grace will have a King for a friend.” Proverbs 22:11
“Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.”2 Corinthians 7:1
“Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.” James 4:8
My heart cry every day is, “I want to see You Lord!!!”Please purify my heart of all that wants to filter in and defile me, please cause my heart to be clean and renewed always!”
People are always, wanting to blame what concerns them on someone else, or something else, instead of praying for the concerns, or the situation. Man has never, nor will he ever be able to save himself, only God can do that!
As Martin Luther King quoted: “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that…”There have been many brilliant men with many amazing accomplishments down through history, exciting as all of that may be, men are full of sin, their hearts are full of darkness, without a Savior they can do nothing! I do believe that God has used many gifted men and women to create much good on this earth, let us never forget who the true creator is. “I lift up my eyes to the mountains-where does my help come from?My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth.” Psalm 121:1,2
As a single mom who struggled for years in my life, I know that without the Lord I never would have made it, I would have perished years ago. I thank God daily for life and for the strength that He provided for me not to give up! I congratulate all mothers, women and especially the single mom’s as it is not easy but with God’s help you will do all that He has called you to do. Let your heart be pure before the Lord!
Happy National Women’s Day
If there are women or men out there who have not given their lives to Jesus, now is the time: Pray Jesus I need you desperately, forgive me of all my sins, I believe that you died for me and rose again so that I may have eternal life, so that I can come to know You and rely on You daily. Come into my heart, fill me with your Spirit, teach, lead and guide me everyday.
In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen
