Pure Mud

Pure mud. Think about it...when you look at mud, do you see purity? When you think of pure...what comes to mind? White...virgin...liquor lol...but seriously..pure mud?

It is what it is. Mud. Can mud be pure? If you ever look at the definition of pure, it means "unmixed with any other matter." So think again...can mud be pure? What is mud? Dirt mixed with water.

Why am I so stuck on this...because I've felt like mud before. Water can be pure...but dirt? Mixing pure with impure leaves you with what...impure. However, that's not true when it comes to God. Stay with me now...God is pure. Nothing is mixed with God because God is. There is none before Him...nothing mixed with Him...He just is. We, however, are like mud. We have a little bit of this..a lil bit of that..lil bit of him/her...in us. Lots of different things, environments, people affect who we are inside and mix us all up like mud. When you take a good look at yourself, what do you see? I see mud. A lot of stuff mixed all up in me.

I may see mud, but I know my mud is pure. I know...how can my mud be pure when I just said mud is impure. My mud is pure because I have God in me. When I look at me, I may see mud, but all God sees is purity. He sees my heart...He is my heart. I always tell people, if you have God and a pure heart, everything will be fine. I am not saying you will never sin...but if you unknowingly do something wrong, with pure intentions, God will still bless you. If you confess the sins you have knowingly committed, God will still bless you. We cannot be perfect. Nobody is perfect. However, I believe people with impure intentions and impure hearts are surrounding us every day...and it's only a matter of time before those people realize they are living a life of impurity.

I'm not even sure if what I just said makes sense...but it makes sense to me :) It's so easy to judge others, look at them and see mud all over the place. But amidst the mud...there may be purity. Watch people around you closely. You can determine who has pure mud and who's mud needs a washin. But just because YOU may not be able to see the purity right away, doesn't mean it's not there at all. In due time, the truth always prevails...and God is the truth.
