Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God-1

Even so, suggested by the heart, decide to step on the accelerator, forgetting that in the car is present his family, including children, and bet on a suicide overtaking. Seconds later, fatality takes the place of reality. If he thought, give space to reason, he would wait for the bus to pass and then, yes, to enter that plate.

Jesus was categorical in saying in Matthew, chapter 5, verse 8: "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." Today, at a time when the gospel has become a bargaining chip, where legal worship is what promises mansions, luxury cars, big money on the checking account, hallucinatory passions; few bother to leave your heart clean.

If it were possible to make an x-ray to detect dirt on this organ of the body, it would rarely go red, but completely dark, because of the innumerable sinful desires deposited there. How many people do not hide in the heart perversions, hatred, grudges, revengeful desires, adulteries, prostitutions, homosexuality, both female and male, robberies, robberies and idolatries ...

What is more curious is that a small number of Christians are concerned about talking to Jesus Christ and presenting this filth asking the Lord to do a housecleaning inside. The business is to put more fuel into the fire and let sin turn a high mountain. Some believe that it is possible to hide our imperfections from God. So life goes on toward the abyss.
