Forrest Gump: Blessed Are the Pure in Heart (Matthew 5:8)
Forrest Gump isn't smart by the world's standards. But he loves purely, serves faithfully, and keeps his promises. He runs across America not for a cause but because he felt like running. He waits for Jenny not because she deserves it but because he loves her. "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God." Forrest sees what the sophisticated miss: that love is simple, that promises matter, that showing up is most of what life requires. The world happens around Forrest while he remains unchanged by its cynicism. His simplicity isn't stupidity; it's clarity.
