Whatever is Pure
Our taste buds give it away. This doesn’t taste the way I remember it. What’s different? Somebody watered it down, or added something that doesn’t agree with me. I liked it the way it was meant to be. I like it unmixed, unmodified, no variations on a theme. We like things plain and simple…just the way God intended them to be; 100% pure. Problems start with motivations. Mixed motives and selfish ambition enter the picture and the good is altered, watered down or twisted as we try to straighten things out on our own. So Paul urges us to focus on life and God as He intended for us. Think in terms of what is authentic. Meditate on whatever is pure.
