When we think of purity of heart we might think of having completely pure, blameless, sinless lives, or perhaps a heart that is pure from temptations and sins (primarily, we think of the sexual ones). Sometimes our connotations of what the Bible means actually limit drastically the implications of its teaching for our lives.
A person who is pure in heart is a person whose motives are pure when they helping others. When they see a need, they truly want to help without any thought of what that means for them. We can contrast this with people who help others so that they can get something in return.
