The sixth Beatitude that following Jesus will shape into us is a sincere desire to see God for our self and to do what God wants.  But what does that mean on a daily basis -- moment by moment.  Who's heart can really become pure we all are such mixed bags of wants and desires.  But Jesus would not tell us to become something that was impossible to do.  That would be cruel and unGod like.  So join the conversation about this inward character authentic followers of Jesus grow in to on purpose.  Conversation partners are Jacques Metayer, UCM President and Amanda Stanley, UCM Communication student leader.  You can support this ministry by going to Cashapp $ucministry.
