God blesses those whose hearts are pure, for they will see God. -Matthew 5:8(NLT)
PURE HEARTED PEOPLE’S REWARD
A poem and essay by ILMA
You have been commanded to guard your heart
Never turn your back to God or be apart
The Lord blesses those whose hearts are pure
He protects them from the devil’s tactics and lure.
Why do you compromise your allegiance?
You will see God when you are in alliance
He will allow the pure to see him face to face
It’s a great reward for those whose hearts are in place?

Why do you think God mentions many times in the bible to guard our hearts? When we don’t watch what is going on inside our spiritual heart, it will be vulnerable to be enticed and corrupted by the world systems. The bible also mentions how important it is to see things like a little child would. Children are innocent and pure. That is why they are very vulnerable to be victimized by ill-intentioned adults. God even said that you cannot enter his kingdom unless you are like a child. Children have no ill intentions because they are still unable to really fathom and weigh what’s right and wrong. There are no schemes or bad motivations. They are just outwardly open, honest and fresh in their perspectives.
The reward of the pure-hearted people is that they will definitely see God.
