Our filters are how we view another! and do they need to be cleaned or changed! Our filters like our car filters can become greasy with grime and dirt and some of them become so filthy that when the fuel are air is pumped through, it twist and turns and therefore makes our thoughts and understanding perverted and defiled. Our thoughts and understanding become impure and sluggish which clouds our minds and hardens our hearts! Here is a list of things that add grease and dirt to our filters. History of unpleasant times when spoken too often, judgements, criticism, blaming, expectations or unfulfilled expectations, lack of verbal acknowledgement of the good qualities and talents of another, making a list and checking it over twice, looking at the mistakes blunders and faults of another and putting one under a microscope, then throw in a little of ones past pain, hurt and bitterness and ones filter becomes malfunctional or even dysfunctional. Our filter then needs to be washed and clean and sometimes even changed. Our filter is the way we view things looking at the glass half empty instead of half full not appreciating what we have or the good things of another. We should know no one is going to have all the qualities we desire as we dont have all those qualities either. We dont need to try to fix or rearrange another out of fear because it leads to being controlling and being harsh. A bad dirty filter deflects suffocates and extinguishes all sorts of love making one or both feel alone ,worthless, unimportant, and full, at times, of feeling resentments. It increasing ones pride and haughtiness and lays the ground work of destruction. God is the only one who as a perfectly clean filter thats why he is holy and pure by himself, with no mans help, we on the other hand need to depend on him and need Him with our willing wills, to wash, clean and make anew our own filters thru His Atonement with repentance and forgiveness. This cleansing of our filters will set us and others free. Free to continue their work at obtaining salvation and exhalation in the Kingdom of God!
