We are to love and
cultivate that which is pure to such an extent that that which is
impure will become painful to us, distressing, and we will desire to
drop it from memory, and this will only be accomplished by
continually thinking upon those things that are pure, and avoiding
the giving of thought to the things that are impure. We are to
recognize true loveliness, and to esteem it. When we would think on
the purest of things we must of necessity lift our mental vision to
as high a point as possible, and, as nearly as we may be able,
discern the loveliness of the perfect character of our God and of
our Lord Jesus Christ, and proportionately the loveliness manifested
in one or another of the followers of Jesus, who walk closely in His
footsteps.. |
