Everything is pure to those whose hearts are pure.
But nothing is pure to those who are corrupt and unbelieving, because their
minds and consciences are corrupted.
Titus 1:15, NLT
Some people see good all around them, while others see
nothing but evil or the negative in things. What is the difference? Our souls become filters through which
we perceive goodness or evil. The pure (those who have Christ in control of
their lives) learn to see goodness and purity even in this evil world. But
corrupt and unbelieving people find evil in everything because their evil minds
and hearts colour even the good they see and hear.
Whatever you choose to fill your mind with will affect
the way you think and act. Turn your thoughts to God and His Word, and you will
discover more and more goodness, even in this evil world.
A mind filled with
good has little room for what is evil. Let us meditate on what is good, pure and honourable and walk worthy of our calling. Our lives should speak of worship and obedience to the Most High God.
