You are worthy of it all, Jesus. You broke away and got quiet, so you could be directed by the father. We need to be directed by the father and nothing else.
We tend to see what we want to see through motivated perception. Lord, help our desires be your desires. Transform our heart to see the world through your lens. We want to have God-motivated perception. And this is the goal for life.
Blessed are pure in heart, they see God. They recognize God. We can see you and creation, and the lives of other people, and ultimately in your word.
A Pure heart is purely Godly motivated. Knowing God is knowing what He wants. He wants us to transition our mind on the positive that he has created around us. Philippians 4:8 This is the first step in changing our heart and accomplishing our life goals that he created in us.
We have to want to see God, not what the sin nature wants us to see. Confessing sin is the first step to opening our eyes. I John 1:9 shows us that forgiveness heals us to Godly motivated seeing.
We all need lots of forgiveness. God knows this, He is not surprised by our need for forgiveness. We must move away from guilt and shame with forgiveness. Keep doing the right things. How do we do that? By listening and choosing friends according to God's will. Not by what I want. Look for God in the relationship between you and them. These friendships/relationships mean that you are more in God's kingdom. You are able to accomplish more for God with them. This is a great sign that your heart is becoming pure and seeing God. Even two good people are not always good for each other. Good friends help you do God's will.
Who are these people the Holy Spirit has put into your life?
