Dear Wisdom,
Please help us to fully appreciate the Beatitudes of Jesus. The Sermon on the Mount was one of the first sermons in the ministry of Jesus. It is rich in content. Please expand on: Blessed are the clean of heart: for they shall see God. (Verse 8). Thank YOU!
Care to comment, Wisdom?
Answer
“Clean of Heart” means that the ego is not in charge and the person is clear about the difference in God’s love versus man’s love.
*When one realizes they do not earn God’s love and can never be a disappointment, they stop trying to buy God’s favor when asking for help.
One spends their life trying to mirror God’s unconditional love to the best of their ability. Human love tries to control others feelings so they can feel love. There are conditions that need to be met, usually from childhood experience. There are moments when a child feels approval or abandoned. They do not have enough data or the ability to rationalize why those feelings were triggered.
If a parent only shows love when the child eats everything on their plate, they associate that feeling as love. They didn’t realize the mother was trying to hurry up the meal in order to move on to the next job. When the child becomes the adult, they don’t understand why food brings such comfort. The heart becomes burdened with conditional love.
*One can see the face of God when they are experiencing the feelings of unconditional love. This can be felt when fully aligning self to even an ant. Everything is interconnected.
*A clean heart has no conditions placed on its love.
Thank you so much, Wisdom, in joy.
You are welcome our little licorice stick.
A licorice stick has an empty space in the center of the stick. This is part of the candy, which makes it more unique. God’s love fills a person’s heart. Some people have filled their hearts full of greed, even jealousy or other negative emotions.
God is waiting patiently to be discovered. Why not have God show you the difference.
