TRANSPARENCY

Jesus said, "Blessed are the pure in heart." The Greek word He used not only means pure, but clear. It is the word used in Revelation describing heaven: the pavement is clear gold like glass. The point is not to shut out the light. Our hearts are suppose to be as clear as that glass. Do you want to see God? Jesus gave us the way to SEE God.

Blessed are those with a clear heart. That is why He says He will forgive us and cleanse us (1 Jn. 1:9) Our heart longs for God's love to fill it. For that to happen, the heart must be clear of Earthly influences, and open to obedience to our Lord's guidance.
