God blesses those whose hearts are pure, for they will see God.
Matthew 5:8 NLT
This scripture can isolate us or turn us away, implying without holiness we are doomed. It doesn't say this but our human reckoning would leads us to self assess and say, I am not there, and therefore will not see God. Therefore we expect not to see God.
However, let's change the word pure to single focus: blessed are those who maintain a single focus on God, seeking His kingdom, always advancing towards Him, they will see God.
Purity, after all is a refined focus on God, a seeking of Him for all answers and for all fulfillment. This is possible as we hear Jesus say: seek first the kingdom, and all else will be added unto you.
So, each day, firstly seeking God, give Him your praise, your prayers, your sorrows. Allow Him to be the answers to all your concerns. Amen!
