PURITY OF OUR HEART
( What Is Your motivation )
When we do something
In life-rightly or wrongly
NOT only does our action ( or inaction ) count
But also does
The purity of our heart
Have you ever done something
When someone else was looking
SOMETHING GOOD
So that someone else might see
I have
POOR motivation to be sure
But I have also done good things
For people-silently
I think this is
What God wants
Let GOD be our reward
( if there is to be a reward )
PURITY OF HEART
“Create in me a pure heart
Oh God
And renew a steadfast spirit
Within me”
Psalm 51:10
We should do good
Because it is good
Not to look good
In the eyes of others
Purity of heart
Motivated by God
“Blessed are the pure in heart
For they will see God”
Matthew 5:8
“Finally brothers
Whatever is true
Whatever is right
Whatever is lovely
Whatever is admirable
If anything is excellent or praiseworthy
Think about such things
Whatever you have learned or
received
Or heard from me
Or seen in me-PUT INTO PRACTICE
And the God of peace
Will be with you”
Philippians 4:8-9
I urge you
My brothers and sisters
To do good
And do so
For the right reasons
For the goodness of God
And the peace of God
Transcends all understanding
PURITY HEART
PURITY OF MOTIVATION
“And we know
That in all things
God works for the good
Of those who love him
And have been called
According to his purpose”
Romans 8:28

“Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young
But set in example-for the believers in speech-in life-in
love
In faith-and in PURITY”
