June 18–Heart for the Lord–Day 18–PURE HEART
\n“Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God.”<\/em>\u00a0 Matthew 5:8 KJV<\/p>\n

Today’s Thought:
\n<\/u>Pure Hearts are transparent. They are not tainted by the world, the flesh or the devil.
\nThey are clean and free to accept and receive God’s love. Their feelings are unmixed.
\nThey are purely God’s and can see Him at work daily in their lives and the lives of others.<\/p>\n

What a blessing it is to have a Pure Heart!<\/p>\n

Prayer of the Heart to the Lord:
\n<\/u>Dear Lord, today I ask that You create in me a Pure Heart so I can see You.
\nI want to see You at work in my life and in the lives of others.
\nI want a transparent heart so Your light can shine through on my life and on the lives of others I meet.
\nI want a heart that is clean and free from sin, one that is not tainted by the world, the flesh or the devil.<\/p>\n

Purify my heart, O God so I can see You in everything I do.
\nIn Jesus name I pray. Amen.<\/p>\n
