Scripture:
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. Matthew 5:8, ESV You're blessed when you get your inside world - your mind and your heart- put right. Then you can see God in the outside world. Matthew 5:8, The Message About this Image: It is hard to take pictures of flowers in nature; you have to find one with few imperfections, you have to be able to set up your tripod in a place where you can keep your camera perfectly still, and there has to be no wind. It would be easier to purchase flowers that have been selected for their perfection and take a picture of them in a studio with controlled lighting and no wind and get amazingly clear and sharp images. But I enjoy the search and the challenge of finding them on hikes. I took this image along the Chestnut Top trail last spring. I honestly don't know what kind of flower it is. It is a very small flower with pure white petals. I saw this small flower because the purpose of my hike that day was to see wildflowers, so I saw many more then other people who were hiking for a different purpose. Jesus taught us in his Sermon on the Mount that when we seek purity it affects every area of our lives, and allows us to see God. The more we have this single goal a heart pure of any other motive except seeking God, the more we see God. We are blessed when we have an integrity of heart and purpose set on seeking God - and then we see him in even the smallest white flower.
