"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God" Matthew 5:8
Standing up for Jesus and walking in His ways during your time and generation is really a challenge isn't it? I've always been asking myself - how can the younger generation: the youths of today stay pure in their hearts but yet be wise and relevant in today's society? It's tough. The trends of today, the different pressures of today, the excitement and thrills that comes along can be very blinding to many of you. In fact, it's true also for many adults.
You know what?? No matter how exciting and enticing things seems to look on the surface - the truth is: they are just temporal. They can bring certain level of excitement and hype into your life, but they will not last long. Wouldn't it be a wiser choice to go for something that has eternal value? Something that last forever and will never end?
Scriptures says that only those who are pure in heart will be able to see God. Pursuing a relationship with God - your heavenly Father can be an exiting journey and adventure all by itself. The genuine love in which you can truly be your real self - whether in good or trying times, whether you are strong or weak, beautiful or ugly moments is such an awesome and thrilling experience.
God loves you and really wants you to be happy. Many of us think that if we totally commit our lives to God and follow His ways, then we will not be able to do this or that. Some of us even think that God, the Father enjoys seeing you deprive of things you love most or enjoy the most. LOL! God is not like that. He wants you to be happy and He wants you to enjoy genuine fun as well.
Can you imagine the thrill of having such a close relationship with God - the God who created the entire universe and you? The God who knows the future and wants the best for you? WOW! It always blows my mind off whenever I think of such an intimate relationship that I can have with this Almighty God. Walking my life journey with Him, having Him as the closest person in my life, sharing my jokes and excitement, sharing my pain and tears and etc..
All this is yours - and all you and I need to do is to ask God to help us to guard our hearts so that our heart will remain pure and not be contaminated by the things of the world - even though we are living in this world =) The only way to really have such an intimate and close relationship with God - even to the extend of seeing Him with our spiritual eyes is make possible only when our hearts are pure (not contaminated).
So, why don't you say a simple prayer to God right now - asking Him to help you guard your heart and keep it from being contaminated. Why not also ask God for a daily, special encounter that you can have with Him? A tangible encounter so that your love and faith will grow stronger as you take the initiative to bond with Him and He draws you to Himself?
It's possible for you to stay pure and not be contaminated for Jesus as you live your everyday life. There are many young people who are walking this same journey together all over the world - standing strong 1 day at a time to stay pure for Jesus and not be contaminated.
You can too..as you make a day by day decision and choice =)
Let's do this together - 1 day at a time!!!
