light

So tonite while in prayer during our Youth Meeting..

A light when on in my head..

“Purity gives you Freedom to share Gods Love and Joy.”

It hit me like a ton of bricks.. only cause freedom is something that we long for from sin. Yet sin has a way of sticking around.. no matter how hard we try, it is always there. Only because it is apart of our flesh, and it wages war against our spirit.

Freedom for me has been something that is always on the forefront, and never something I have lived perpetually in. Yes, I share moments of freedom and revelation.. but still I manage to somehow fall.. weather it be through anger, lust, bitterness, skepticism, pride.. There are so many ways to sin, and only ONE way to be saved.

I guess this thought gave me hope.. only because the freedom I need, is the freedom to love. And Sin gets in the way of that. So by being pure of mind, and heart.. I can freely express that which God has given graciously to me.

I can imagine the countenance of the pure of heart, and I hear the psalms echo in my mind.

What joy awaits for those who are pure of heart.. who takes His Word as their delight. Blessed is HE says the Lord.. He shall not stumble, nor shall he want. His heart shall be steadfast upon the Lord.. meditating day and night on HIS principles..

The contenance of this man, is one of peace, love, strength, and humilty..  Like a tree planted along the river, whose roots grow strong, one whos leaves shall never weather, one that will bear fruit in due season, and one prospers in all that he does..
