Spending a lovely evening at the park with family and friends, pushing my son in the swing, this thought came to me: “God, you are so pure.”
As I sat here at the computer, I began to wonder about what “pure” really means, how I would define that word. Webster helped with these thoughts: “unmixed with any other matter”; “free from harshness or roughness and being in tune”; “containing nothing that does not properly belong.”
And I think that is what I felt tonight, being “in tune” with Him, His love, His character. I want to be “unmixed with any other matter”; not bothered by that which does not matter, not mixed up with things that do “not properly belong.” That is what He is. Tonight, I knew it within me - and I am thankful.
Purity at it’s finest….. I long for those moments! I hope they are getting closer and closer together every time I experience those moments.
I love the thought of being “unmixed with any other matter”.
Solemn words, Jenn.
What a wonderful feeling to have. I’m very glad for you, really, really glad. The wonderful thing about these few and far between moments is that we don’t take them for granted because they don’t happen all day, everyday. Have a great weekend. Still praying by the way.
What a wonderful post. Oh to be filled only with Him! I guess that is going to be one of the wonders of heaven, I can’t wait.
Pure… I have never look at it like this before
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh God I love you so.
I love what you wrote-
and I love those moments too.
It seems so easy to get caught up in things we think matter so much- and if left undone all the time would be a problem- but oft times we need to just put aside to enjoy the pure things that are right in front of us.
This reminds me so much of the mary/martha story- I often ask myself- who am I today- Mary or Martha?
