Purity

14 December 2010.

Proverbs 22:11 He who loves purity of heart, and whose speech is gracious, will have the king as his friend

Purity is something which we do not often come across, we have to check the labels to see the contents and even then we need to have a third party to actually check it. So when you see mango juice in a shop and then read the label, it will read 100% fruit juice, some mango, some orange or apple or pear. It may taste like mango, but it is not pure mango juice. We then realise that the mango juice is adulterated with other juices, it is no longer pure mango juice.

When we apply this to the human condition we need to ask ourselves how pure are we with our bodies, do we adulterate it with other things to make it what it isn’t? Do we allow impure emotions to dominate how we feel, and how others emotional impurity affects our responses. Spiritually we may allow other spirits to influence us and so we have impure spirits changing us. Impure thoughts impacts on how we respond, so we all struggle to remain pure because of all of them.

 A person who is pure in heart (attitude) will always be gracious in the way they speak. Gracious people will attract others, because their purity of heart, brings about a relationship which is based on trust and encouragement.

Be encouraged today to be pure in heart and thoughts, and may your speaking be gracious to those who hear you.

  

David
