Titus 1:15, 16 To the pure, all things are pure, but to those who are corrupted and do not believe, nothing is pure In fact, both their minds and consciences are corrupted. They claim to know God, but by their actions they deny him.
"Some people see good all around them, while others see nothing but evil. What is the difference? Our souls become filters through which we perceive good and evil. The pure learn to see goodness and purity even in this evil world. But the corrupt and unbelieving find evil in everything because their minds and hearts color over even the good."
This TOTALLY got me this morning. I try to be a positive person (though there are times when it's perfectly alright to be sad or angry), look for the good in people, nature, etc. I've met a lot of people who it seems like no matter what is going on, they complain. And I've also met a lot of people who claim to have the 'joy of the Lord,' yet they are totally lifeless, and only see what's wrong with the world.
God make me someone who sees the beauty in every situation, no matter how difficult. And don't let me give up on someone just because it seems like nothing is happening.
