“Today I have given you the choice between life and death, between blessings and curses. Now I call on heaven and earth to witness the choice you make. Oh, that you would choose life, so that you and your descendants might live!
You can make this choice by loving the Lord your God, obeying him, and committing yourself firmly to him. This is the key to your life. And if you love and obey the Lord, you will live long in the land the Lord swore to give your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”

God blesses those whose hearts are pure, for they will see God.
Matthew 5:8
O God of Israel, for your temples, you have chosen neither stone nor wood. You chose our very hearts to be your dwelling place. By your spirit, may we keep our hearts pure and true—a fitting home for you. Amen.
