“Sunshine in our soul”

If your eye is pure, there will be sunshine in your soul. Matthew 6:22.

Verse Reflections  I love the thought of having “Sunshine in my soul”.  When Moses came off of the mountain after spending time with God he was white with light.  I am sure that he had sunshine in his soul.  It is revealing that God keeps giving us instructions in the Bible that shows us all the wonderful blessings that we can have BUT He also gives us tasks we must do in order to receive them.  In this verse we must keep our eyes pure.  We must be sure that what we look at, what we read, what we crave, what we put ourselves in front of should be pure.  This verse reinforces what I heard God tell me.  We should eat “pure” (with no additives, no artificial ingredients) foods.  We should eat God foods that are pure meats, fruits and vegetables.  We should turn our eyes on the pure words of the Lord each morning.  If we begin our day with purity, we can feel the lightness, the joy that He is promising us.  I am ready to have the sunshine in my soul.  So let’s do this!

Prayer:  Dear Lord, What a beautiful way to start my day.  Lord, pour sunshine into my soul.  Let it fill me, let others see the joy and sunshine pouring forth.  I totally believe that You are light and I want to be filled with You.  The Greek word for “pure” is clean and blameless.  Let me be clean and blameless today.  Allow me to have the strength to eat pure foods, clean foods.  I want to go a step beyond today and ask You to help me crave those foods.  Allow me to look for and want those wonderful foods You created.  I adore You and this is just one simple, but for me complicated, way I can worship You.  Today I am going to worship You through the foods I eat.  And I look forward to feeling and being warmed by the sunshine spilling out of my soul.
