It has always interested me that many people travel to rather simple locations for a change of scenery. They often visit mountains, lakes, oceans, beaches, forests, parks and other scenes of nature. They enjoy sunrises, sunsets, gentle rain and vivid rainbows. It doesn't surprise me. It intrigues me. Of all the options, those involving nature never wane.
Why is that? Answers may vary but people usually enjoy that which is natural, simple, peaceful and pure. We tend to crave an environment that refreshes, restores and reminds us of what is authentic, consistent, vital, and pure.
We greatly appreciate purity. Whether in food, water, relationships or life, we desire and even cherish something that is pure. Dictionaries describe pure as untainted, wholesome, undefiled or clean.
I wonder...what would happen if we embraced purity more in our thoughts, words, choices, attitudes and lives? What differences would it make in our relationships, our community, our country or our world if purity became a priority? The One Who is pure and blameless spoke very highly of it in a sermon He once shared. If it is that important to Him, I pray it will become a way of life for us.♥~thl
