purity

I am so blessed and encouraged by this, Jesus said "But give for alms those things that are within; and behold everything is clean to you."(RSV); the Living Bible translation makes it a bit easier, "Purity is best demonstrated by generosity."; and the Samoan Bible translation says, "o mea uma e te faia, ia faia ole mea alofa, ona mama lea o mea uma ia te outou." The Lord impressed that on my heart from one of my journal writings...I can't tell you enough how the Lord's Spirit is making me take a new look at all the things I say and do to others because of that. Purity is not so much changing how we dress, act or think, it is just like Jesus said...Purity is doing and giving from the heart without no conditions. Now, that's my opinion, you are entitle to yours but this to me is similar to what the apostle Paul said also...there's 3 things that remain, faith, hope and love, but the greatest of these is LOVE. So, in other words, when we do things for someone or give things to someone or to some cause, give it as a gift of love and you will feel good, clean and happy inside of you...I just thought of this, even a cup of water we give out of the generosity of our hearts, Jesus said, it has a reward. Why? because we gave it as a gift to the thirsty. a hui ho.
