Daily Devotion to God’s Holy Word.
Blessed In Christ, By Karen Rowe
I got stuck yesterday. Do you ever get stuck somewhere btw your thoughts and what is yet to come in a deeper understanding?
Something so simple? Yet, is anything simple to us until we get it? No, it is a simple concept of “the pure at heart”, but it was not simple to me yesterday.
I heard the whisper this morning about the Verse of the Day, “Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God (Matthew 5:8 KJV).”
Can I be honest, I have had this picture hanging on my wall for years. I always humbly, but let’s be honest, also somewhat smuggly thought this was somehow about me?
So how could I write about being pure at heart? Like as IF it had something to do with me / or anyone, BUT JESUS!
Here it is!
I told you about the pure white blood / life fluid that come from where I dusted the dead leaves off, right? Well, friends, that pure heart in us is Christ!
That pure heart is Christ!
The heart that is blessed is blessed because of Jesus giving us a new heart (HIS)! We must grow in self-control as a fruit of HIS SPIRIT in us, but friends even that fruit is NOT of self, but of the Holy Spirit of God!
So every thing funnels down to us from Heaven above & IN CHRIST we are made to be a citizen of Heaven – on earth as it is in Heaven!
So there it is! It is all about Jesus!
If you give, give as that cheerful giver, following the spirit of God who lives in you thru and by Jesus!
The blood Jesus shed for us, was of water and spirit life – washing us by His own power and grace and giving us a new opportunity to live in Christ Today!
Grace is here! The Kingdom Come!
Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
Matthew 5:8 KJV
Do you see God in the love He displays in His Creation? Do you experience that covering of His wings of feathers? Do you most know and believe in the love God has for You?
Friends, when you receive this you will never be the same!
Believe to have Hope in this world! What is the hope that flows thru your veins? The world wants to infiltrate fear. But JESUS said, Peace be still and understand, Jesus is the Christ the Son of the Living God!
Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
Mt 5:8 KJV
After Thoughts …
If I were perfect, I could have got all this out of me in a way that I would have felt good about it. You know, after you have an opportunity to speak & then you think, “Oh I should have said that/ or in that way.” But that’s just it! Let the revelations come! If you have a Revelation thought from Jesus by this stirring a thought in the same way, please share yours too! The thing I saw after I shared it was that I always quoted that verse as pure AT heart. It has nothing to do with our mistakes / nor good we can do, because the revelation is … Christ IN our heart is the pure in heart.
Blessed are the pure IN heart: for they shall see God.
Matthew 5:8 KJV
It’s all about Jesus!
I hope this a blessing to you. There is no fear / nor virus in Christ…stay your mind in Christ, & “This too shall pass!” And in the blood of Jesus all these things will pass by in Jesus Name. So we have to adjust to a new way of uncomfortable or life altering adjustments….God is positioning us all to worship Him and see all blessings come by His Hand. Prayers said and love in Christ to all.
I hope this is a blessing to you.
Love in Christ, Karen
John 3:16-17 King James Version (KJV)
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
IN CLOSING ALWAYS …
Faith pleases God. And it is impossible please God without faith.
BUT LET a man EXAMINE himself, AND SO LET him eat OF THAT bread, and drink OF THAT cup.
1 Corinthians 11:28 KJV
FOR THIS CAUSE many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.
1 Corinthians 11:30 KJV
Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.
James 1:12 KJV
THAT’S ALL FROM ME FOR TODAY!
And, Always Remember 2 Things!
1. When you receive this, you will never be the same!
2. God for us. God with us. God in us.
NOW … Believing on Jesus,
AFTER THIS MANNER THEREFORE PRAY YE:
9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
10 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
Matthew 6:9-13 King James Version (KJV)
