He who loves purity of heart and has grace on his lips, the king will be his friend.

Proverbs 22:11

Purity of heart leads people into loving everyone without partiality, so you need to clean your heart with God’s grace and have it on your lips. People who are pure and have God’s anointing are loved and therefore have the Lord Jesus as a Friend. Christ’s friends are saved and guided by the Holy Spirit at all times.

The world needs people who love everyone equally because in this way they will be loved as they should and not for what they can give. What many call love is actually deceit and evil work when it hides a petty interest. As a result, the world is getting worse and he who is deceived no longer trusts anyone and sometimes does not even trust the Almighty.
 
Those who love have purity of heart and this virtue is perceived by everyone. These individuals are known for the way they talk, gaze and behave. It is a fact that everyone wants to be friends with people who truly love, after all the way they carry themselves delights everyone. Therefore ask the Lord to fill your heart with His divine grace and be happy.

Don’t talk injudiciously. You need to be used by God’s Spirit, so every time you have something to say, make sure God’s grace comes out of your lips. In so doing you will have met one of the Creator’s objectives, after all He gave you life and revealed Himself to you. God’s children should be like an extension of the Father to justify what He has done for them.
 
Consider this: you rejoice whenever you meet someone with a pure heart, don’t you? So let others rejoice about you too. He who has the divine anointment on his lips does a tremendous good to whoever crosses his path. We must always bless and never allow any judgment or condemnation to proceed out of our mouth. May your mouth be used by the Lord to say blessings at all times!

He who turns his life into a wealth of blessings discovers the right way to have the Son of God dwelling in his heart. This is not the case of those who speak smoothly but harbor a beast in their heart. Having the grace on our lips is talking all the time about what the Scriptures say with love, gentleness and firmness.

Jesus’ friends always do what He commands and do not live for themselves but rather for the Lord. Moreover, they are guided and protected by the Holy Spirit. He who dwells in the Tabernacle of the Most High is known for the way he makes his decisions, his gaze and his fear of God!

In Christ with love,
