PROMISE FOR FEBRUARY 23RD

"Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God." Matthew 5:8

A pure heart would be a fully consecrated heart--the whole mind given up to the Lord's will. R. 5277, c.2, p.1. How precious the thought, that we may attain to absolute purity of intention, of love, etc., toward all mankind as well as toward the Lord, and that God will thus accept us in His beloved One, not counting to us the unintentional weaknesses and blemishes which we realize and which others realize perhaps still more than we. How blessed the thought that such will see God, that such have the clearest views of God's character and Plan now, that such shall see Him shortly when changed in the resurrection, when they shall have awakened in the likeness of their dear Redeemer. R. 3735, c.2, p.4.
