I have an EYE on it! Which EYE?

Good morning all. God is good all the time, all the time God is good.  TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!!
   I have it, or EYE have it?  What you see, what you think, is either good or bad, good or evil.
Matthew 6: (NIV)  22 “The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light. 23 But if your eyes are unhealthy,  your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!
     Wow!  Read this carefully.  Spiritual vision is our capacity to see clearly what God wants us to do and to see the world from his point of view.  This spiritual insight can be easily clouded.  Self-serving desires, interests, and goals block that vision.  A "good eye" is one that is fixed on God.
  In Mark 7:20-23 Jesus says: "It is what comes from inside that defiles you.  For from within, out of a person's heart, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, wickedness, deceit, lustful desires, envy, slander, pride, and foolishness.  All these vile things come from within; they are what defile you."
   An evil action begins with a single thought.  Allowing our mind to dwell on lust, envy, hatred, or revenge will lead to sin.  Don't defile yourself by focusing on evil.  Instead, follow Paul's advice in Philippians 4:8 and think about what is true, honorable right, pure, lovely, and admirable.
  Philippians 4:  (NIV) Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
  So, how is your EYE?  Upright and acceptable to the LORD?  Love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
