Daily Word: Redefining the Good Life

The condition of our hearts is proven by the way we live our lives. It's evident in our attitudes, our words and our behavior. If our vision is hindered by selfishness and sinful behavior, our judgment will be cloudy. We will not see ourselves or others properly. We may never be perfect in this life, but if our hearts are pure, then we will approach life without malice. We will "be" good and be able to "see" the good in others as well. That's not to say we will be naive or gullible, but we will seek good instead of evil an negativity. When our hearts are defiled, we will be corrupt and everything around us will seem corrupt as well. We will assume the motives of others are evil, simply because our motives are suspect. Basically it's like this, if you live a "good" life, good people will be drawn to you and you will find yourself at peace in spite of your surroundings. However, if you live a sinful life, you will be drawn to evil people and evil things. And you will be surrounded by constant turmoil and calamity. The choice is yours, you make the call.

Titus 1:15

To the pure all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; even their mind and conscience are defiled.
