Daily Word – Friday 03 November 2006

Blessed (happy, enviably fortunate, and spiritually prosperous--possessing the happiness produced by the experience of God's favor and especially conditioned by the revelation of His grace, regardless of their outward conditions) are the pure in heart, for they shall see God!  [Matthew 5:8]

I have always interpreted this scripture to mean that if we have pure hearts we will one day, in heaven, see God, but as I was pondering on this today I realized that when our hearts are pure we see God in and through all our challenges and experiences.

I thought about the times I had faced troubles with the right attitude, and how I was able to see Gods plans fulfilled in my life even in the worst of times. I thought about relationships and how, when my heart is pure, I am able to see God working in the lives of those around me even in times of misunderstanding.

And I realized that when I open my eyes in the morning and embrace the day with a heart ready to praise my Lord despite my circumstances, the day that may have otherwise turned out grey and dreary, is suddenly coloured with the grace of my Lord, and as I look around me the grass seems greener, the sky bluer, the flowers brighter, the air fresher, and I know that I have seen God!

Have a fabulous Friday,

Much love,

Chrissy.
