You Can Be Pure-Hearted
Have you thought much about the word perfect. I have always wanted to be perfect, to be pure-hearted, but I fail. And I feel guilty when I fail.
Several years ago I had a Sunday School for ladies. One Sunday I was working hard teaching. I’d write on the board and then talk about certain words in the text and how that applied to our lives. After I finished, I prayed and dismissed the class, a lady came up to me and told me the dres I had on was unbuttoned in the back. It was a dress that had covered buttons. Right in the middle, I missed two of them so that every time I turned around to write on the board, they could see my back.
That was not fun, in fact, I was horrified that they might be thinking of the bra I had on instead of the lesson I was trying to teach This kind lady fastened the buttons so I was no longer immodest for the entire church. The only thing I could be thankful for is that the class was full of ladies.
I did not want to distract but to draw women closer to God. How can we be pure-hearted? God calls us to be holy as he is holy. That’s a tall order. We want to do right and do it with the right attitude and the right motives.
How can we do that?
