Do you know that our heart's condition will be expressed through our life? It will be evident by our attitudes, our words, and our behavior. Jesus said that you can clearly see others only when our own eyes are unobstructed. If our vision is hindered by sin, we will not look at others.
"To the pure all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but even their mind and conscience are defiled." Titus 1:15.
If our heart is pure, we will approach life without malice. We will not question the motives or everyone around us. We will not doubt the truth of everything others tell us. We will not look for faults in others. Instead, we will look for the good in others, finding what is praiseworthy. We won't be naive or gullible, but we will seek what is good rather than what is evil. If our heart is pure, we will see others the way God sees them.
However, if our hearts are defiled, everything in which we are involved with will seem defiled as well. We will assume evil motives in others because we will know what we would do in the same circumstances. We will be cynical about what we hear because our own words are deceitful. We will be drawn to evil people and evil things.
Question: How do we look at the words and actions of others? Are we critical of them? Are we judgmental? If we answer yes to these questions, our heart has been defiled and we need to ask God to purify us. This starts with confession and repentance! Ask God to bring us back to the truth of His Word and give us a clean heart and a clean mind. Once He has, we will be free to see our self and others as God does.
