The God who is wants to be found when we seek Him with our whole heart. The divided heart is a barrier to seeing Him and seeking Him. The pure in heart have a clear vision of Him (Matthew 5:8). Full commitment tunes the focus. The divided heart distorts that vision and misrepresents the God it thinks it sees. Lord, unite my heart around You! May my vision of You not be distorted by anything that is within my heart!
“O God, You are my God; I shall seek You earnestly; My soul thirsts for You, my flesh yearns for You, In a dry and weary land where there is no water.” Psalms 63:1 (NASB)
