The heart must be especially kept pure, because the heart is the chief seat or place of God's residence. God dwells in the heart. He takes up the heart for His own lodging (Isaiah 57:15; Ephesians 3:17), therefore it must be pure and holy. A king's palace must be kept from defilement, especially his presence-chamber. How holy that ought to be! If the body be the temple of the Holy Ghost (1 Corinthians 6:19), the heart is the holy of holies. Oh take heed of defiling the room where God is to come. Let that room be washed with holy tears.
(The Beatitudes, p. 174)
