The heart is what you are, in the secrecy of your thoughts and feelings, when nobody knows what’s going on in your mind except for God. “What you are at the invisible root matters as much to God as what you are at the visible branch.” In other words, it is more than an “external purity of behaviour”. It is an internal purity of soul. What we learn from this Beatitude is that Jesus is concerned with our heart. It is not enough for us to clean up ourselves on the outside, yet our insides are still unclean.

We live in a world that is trying to convince us that we do not need God and that we as humans are powerful; that power comes from us alone and we are self-sufficient. You have to realise your need for Him. You have to want Him more than anything else. You have to see Him as important for daily living and make Him a priority.
