what's pure and what isn't

Today in A Year with the Church Fathers, St John Chrysostom tells us about what's pure.

He says that good things hurt those who are filled with sin. The same good things that help people who are walking in the light.

If you find yourself in this position, where everything is hurting you - your friends, your family, your job... ask Him for help. He is near to those who are hurting. He will help you.

If you find that there are areas in which you need to grow, ask Him for help with that, too. He will help you grow. He wants nothing more.

Whatever situation you find yourself in, ask God to help you. He will definitely answer that prayer in the affirmative.

God, thank You for helping us to grow. We all need You.
