THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

LEARN TO RELEASE THE IMPURITIES OF LIFE…..

When Jesus said “pure in heart,” the word PURE in the original language is where we get our word catharsis, which means “cleansing, releasing, purifying.” After a surgery, the doctor may put in a catheter, which is from the same root word. It’s a tube that drains out the IMPURITIES in the body—the infection, the toxins, the waste. The doctor knows that these contaminates will come NATURALLY. He’s not alarmed unless they’re not released and flushed out.

God is saying that you’re going to be BLESSED when you learn to release the impurities of LIFE, emptying out all the things that will infect you. Bitterness, guilt, worry, doubt, and self-pity are impurities that WILL come, but you have to let them GO and flush them out or they will contaminate your spirit and POISON you. But they can NOT hurt you if they just pass through. If you let them GO, God will fill your life with GOOD things.

Today’s Scripture

Matthew 5:8, NIV

“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.”
