Matthew 5:6
"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied."
The promise is not to those who merely desire righteousness, but those who have an intense desire. Character is shown by the number, the intensity and the quality of its desires. The promise is to those who have such an intense desire for righteousness is that "they shall be filled." Being part of the kingdom of heaven requires one to have a deep longing after goodness and godliness. Paul told Christians in Thessalonica about those who failed to love the truth and that God would send a delusion to those who did not.
One will be filled with what one intensely desires whether it be truth of a lie.
