  (part 2) to be merciful is to forgive those slights that others cause you and to show others the same love and compassion that God shows us each and every day.

  to be merciful means to not judge or put someone down simply because they are not as blessed as you are,

  I believe being merciful is a choice. A choice to show compassion, understanding, and reaching out to understand someone else’s need(s). Being merciful is choosing to be present for someone in a time of difficulty, not for our own sake, but for theirs.

  Merciful means that we’re not judging others, that we are giving grace renewed every morning. Compassionate and forgiving in nature.

  to be compassionate, forgiving, kind, loving towards another, it is also something we freely have the ability to choose to do.

  Pure of heart means that your intentions are good, you are following the path God laid out for you by prayer and reading His word and learning His ways and getting to know Him better. It means that you are gaining the fruits of the spirit and becoming more christlike daily in your walk.

  Being pure in heart means thinking and living in a way that doesn’t allow sin and cares of the world to block my reception of God’s Holy Spirit.

  I have had the discussion often with people I know who are members of churches as to what we would have to do to purify out hearts to the point that we would be ‘perfect’ before a Holy God. There is nothing that we can do – nothing because we are saved by Grace alone “and that not of ourselves”. To be pure in heart as much as possible we must avoid earthly treasure and desires and focus on Jesus. If we are to follow in His footsteps we pray for His heart, His eyes, His desires. To be pure in heart means to be totally devoted to Jesus and to the fact only His desires should be “the desires of your heart.”
  We cannot achieve that in our own power, ever.
