Pure Heart | 21 Days of Prayer: Day 17

Pure Motives consist of actions that come from the heart. Long before an impure action took place, it first began with an impure motive. Purity does not ask the question of, “How far can I go until it is a sin?” Rather asks, “What can I do to not even give the appearance of sin?” Prayer and time with the Lord help us to filter our hearts from the impurities within the world and cleanse our minds from any fleshly desires. It's in those quiet and still moments we can allow the Lord to examine how we are really doing.

 

Living a life out of a pure heart leads to true power and freedom. The more we detach from dependence on the world, the more we attach to Christ. The pursuit of purity is a progressive awareness of God’s grace, acceptance, and presence as we trust in Him to reveal more of His character in our lives. We grant the Holy Spirit access to do a work within us when we refuse to tolerate questionable behavior, impure thoughts, and other forms of disobedience to what the Word of God instructs us to do.
