If you’ve taken an honest inventory of your heart then you know that broken things, unclean desires well up from there. You know that this blessing is truly impossible because your heart is so broken either by your own desires or by external circumstances that have made your heart filthy over time. Who can possibly understand it? Who can make it pure? Only our Lord and Savior Jesus. In 1 Peter chapter 1, the apostle Peter encouraged the persecuted believers scattered throughout Asia that through the mercy and power of God they could become pure in heart even in their time of exile. We can become pure in heart by God’s power.
