"Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled."
Titus 1:15
This is a really interesting idea, and I think something that it is easy to see in our own lives when we look for it. When we're on track and feeling the spirit in our lives, we don't have to worry about having a "dirty mind" or expecting the worst. We don't dwell on lust and sin, but we instead gain some of God's perspective, and we look for the hope around us and the good in other people. Although it can be thought of as naive, it is actually a better way to see.
It's easy to see the flaws and the mistakes and the problems around us, and I'm not saying that those things should necessarily be ignored. All truth should be considered, but often we focus so much on the negative that we skew our own viewpoints away from reality. Additionally, we let so many things distract us from what is truly important. Even when things aren't inherently evil, they can be bad for us when we give them undue value in our priorities. Today, as we look at the world, let's consider our perspectives, and work with God to improve them, working towards unity, hope, and love.
