Assistants with a pure heart

As you already know, we are talking of the Beatitudes that Jesus taught His disciples.
Today I will be very direct and to the point with my words because the beatitude we will talk about is clear and at the same time very deep.
“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.”
When my heart is unclean, corrupted by malice because of bad eyes and vanity, then automatically my eyes are blinded to see God. How so?
Our dirty feelings blind our vision and don’t allow us to see God on the contrary; we can only see what is physical.
When we go through a difficult situation we won’t be able to see the opportunities. When our attention is called we do not see it as the love of God taking care of us, but instead we see it as an “injustice”.
How can we have a pure heart? That is the big question!
When we clean, nothing stays clean forever. For example, when you clean your house you always need to go back and clean again or you’ll be back to square one, in other words, it requires constant maintenance and cleaning. The same applies to our spiritual “home”. The idea that the many years of doing the work of God, or because we are very useful assistant makes us immune to everything, is wrong, nothing guarantees us to maintain a pure heart.
An unclean heart makes a person live in darkness and because it is misleading it makes the person feel as if they are in the light and see God, but all they see is their own way according to their own will.
Analyze your heart to see if you’re an assistant who cannot see God in the small details, or even in life’s adversities. If so, it means that your interior is obstructed.
Be honest with yourself, acknowledge your state and repent, start hating the situation you find yourself in. Go to the Lord Jesus with sincerity for only He can cleanse you from the filthiness of the flesh!
I would like to read your comment on today’s article.
A hug.

I used to be with a friend inside the church who had bad heart this contaminated my faith she had no boundaries she will talk about the Pastors from their sex lives to all but I was slowly getting poisoned without realising until one day I had to ask a God to remove this friend from life.
This friendship had left me with bad eyes and my heart unclean. It is when I blocked all contact that I was able to see and hear the voice clearly. I thought bad people were outside some are inside so we have to watch our thoughts and friends

I have had bad eyes in the past mainly because I thought I was treated unfairly, from that point on I took things personally and even started to sulk when I would be required to help, even though as a servant and it was my duty but I would have moments where I would think that no I don’t feel like doing this and that. But once I humbled myself I was free from the darkness of my own malice and saw my position as the servant that I was meant to be and the way I reacted to situation changed.

Yes Mrs Louis its true,from my experiences of several times. In my Spiritual home there is a necessary daily maintainance because im living in this land that is full of challenges that challenges us as we call ourselves as we call us children of God. I become lost if i don’t seek God and keeping myself busy with His will.

Hello Mrs Luisa.
thank you so much for this message. It is very strong and true that we dont clean our house once but we go back time and again and daily to clean. I am an assistant and after hearing this message i see the need for continuous maintenance of my spiritual home.
Thank you again
Kisses

Dear Mrs Loisa.
I could agree with you even more when you say that a clean house does’nt remain so clean, it needs maintenance to keep it clean, this post is realy helping me to recall my mistakes and repend, as I am reading now , yesterday I was called my attention and I saw injustice I was bitter all the services, today I am learning that God was taking care of me.
Thank you for this post I will indeed maintain my heart every now and then to keep it pure and clean at all times.

I am not an assistant with uniform, but I assist in other ways. My eyes were so bad that I couldn’t see anything good in life’s daily activities. I would only see bad and wrong things. ALL THIS while praying, fasting, tithing, sacrificing, giving offerings. My family couldn’t put up with me anymore, even though they also do all of the things I just mentioned, but less fervently, it’s all about balance, my family says.
It was a horrible experience because I led my family to sin. There was a physical fight and hatred while saying the name of Jesus Christ. How ironic. Luckily, or better yet, because of God’s merciful blessing, we hugged and forgave each other at the end. We admitted our mistakes and found the root of the problem. The fight only lasted a few hours. It’s not the first time that this happens to my family, and this fight was different because we quickly forgave each other and I even joked about it. My family challenged me as being “over the limit”, and yes, I was. I was being overly correct, and annoying for three weeks already. Even though, I already knew the meanings of fanatism and religiosity – my family know this as well -, I fell into this trap again AND LAST TIME. I didn’t see God in the small details, nor even in my family’s current life adversities.
Do you see how the devil wants to claim a territory that is not his anymore? Let’s clean ourselves more frequently, and remember that good things mostly fall into God’s general will, which is what He wants for us. Let’s have a more open ear to hear His will.
