Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. Matthew 5.7,8
Finding God
In the opening to the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus describes those who are blessed; those who find God. It is not the proud or self righteous but those who know they need God and those who seek him in humility and generosity.
Stop and Think
What does it mean to be merciful?
What does it mean to be pure in heart?
How might these qualities make you blessed? How might they help you to find God?
Choose to Act
Choose today to live in the simplicity and honesty which is purity of heart.
Choose to show mercy to someone, near or far away.
