The Road Less Traveled - a Lent Journey for TeensSample

Pure of Heart

“You have made us for yourself O Lord, and our heart is restless until it rests in You.” – St. Augustine

A long time ago, there were two opinions about desires. One was that God had placed a desire for Him in us. The other was that our desires are buried very deep, and we often don’t recognize them.

We have a responsibility to identify the desires of our hearts. That is how a pure heart looks.

The only way to be truly happy is to have pure hearts. Our hearts determine our dreams, what we long for in life, the energy we live with, and eventually, all of this determines our decisions.

Exercise:

Share with Jesus where you are on this journey with Him.

Prayer:

“Give me a pure heart Jesus.”
