"O all ye that are pure in heart, lift up your heads and receive the pleasing word of God, and feast upon his love; for ye may, if your minds are firm, forever."
Jacob 3:2
This verse talks about a couple of things that it seems are needful... the first is a pure heart, and the second is a firm mind. I think that in both cases the scripture is talking about wholeness and focus. To be pure, our hearts have to be full of the love of God, and not the love of idols or addictions or lust... and to be firm, our minds have to be focused on God, and not distracted by those other things either. We have to do some Spring cleaning, and get all the ugly desires out of our hearts and the ugly thoughts out of our minds, and then we are freer to feel and partake of God's love.
