Matthew 5:8 says "Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God."

It isn't directly asking us to do anything to our hearts, but we can imply from this that we should purify them. How to do this is another question, but from other examples in the scriptures we can infer that cleanliness is related to avoidance of sin, or repentance after committing sin. And so, if we repent of things we have done already that were offensive to God, and we strive to do good to others, then we are taking the first steps in cleansing our hearts.
