When Jesus speaks of “the pure in heart,” in relationship to God, he is describing someone of integrity – a person who has a single-minded focus, an undivided devotion toward God.

This is what our Father wants you to know. Just as God promised to be with Joshua, He will be with you. In this age of social distancing, God is near. He doesn’t change. He is always there. He is always seeking your best. He is always pursuing you with His love. “I will be with you wherever you go” I will be with you when things look bleak. I’ll be with you when you feel weak. “So be strong in me. Get your courage from me. For I will never leave you nor forsake you. I will be with you wherever you go.”

We need to feed our minds with thoughts worthy of who we are, and whose we are. Don’t let the world conform your thoughts, but let God transform your thoughts. We are children of God, whose minds are being renewed my God so we might have the mind of Christ and live a life that honors Him.

Looking into one another’s eyes, tears running down their faces, with the understanding that what they’ve been searching for for so long is now right in front of them. So they rejoiced with great joy! They celebrated the end of their journey, for God had led them to the Messiah. God had brought them to Jesus! And now in finding Jesus, they are about to worship Him.

God will always be merciful to those He loves. He will always forgive you when you sin. He will always love you at your worst. There is nothing you can do to make Him stop loving you. Even when you’ve done the worst thing imaginable, God will not give up on you. His mercy for you has no limits. He will never, never, never count your sins against you. That’s His loyal love commitment to you!

If you belong to Him through faith in Jesus, then you can be confident that God is with you. You don’t have to be afraid of anything. Nothing. Absolutely nothing – not death, not the loss of loved ones, not being without someone to care for you. Because God is with you, you can live without fear.

In the Lord, there is an eternal abundant fountain of goodness and joy, purity and peace that God desires to pour out on those He loves, and because He is self-sufficient He is more than able to give you what’s missing in you.

I don’t know of anything more discouraging than life without hope. And God’s Word gives us hope in spades! Hope to change. Hope that no matter what chaos is swirling around us, God is in control. Hope for help in whatever we are facing. Hope for encouragement when our souls are downcast. Hope for forgiveness when we blow it. Hope in the truth that God will never let you go. Hope in the face of suffering and death. And hope for the day when we see Jesus face to face. God’s Word can give you hope.

Can you imagine that if every time you made a mistake, you had a Christian get in your face and tell you how badly you blew it? The sad reality is that there are many people who never darken a church door today because they were hurt by the very people who should have understood them and loved them. Love acts the gentleman by being understanding of people.
