Blessed ( Jeremiah 29 v 13 )

 'Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God'  ( Matthew 5 v 8 )  It was the old prophet Samuel who was told something very important when he was sent to anoint a new king,'' The Lord does not see as mortals see; they look on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart''.Luther wrote,'Christ...wants us to have a pure heart,though outwardly a person may be a drudge in the kitchen,black sooty, and grimy, doing all sorts of dirty work, Again, ''Though a common labourer, a shoemaker or a blacksmith may be dirty and sooty or may smell because he is covered with dirt and pitch......and though he stinks outwardly,inwardly  he is pure incense before God because he ponders the word of God and obeys it''.
