Goodness

 The purity of goodness is to have no negativity.  It is the source of God.  There can be no blemish.  It’s purity is transparent and only that light is of the very whitest can be allowed.  Goodness is said to be a quality that is the substance with which we come to earth and our job is to keep it as pure as the driven snow.  A flake falls to earth without blemish until it lands on the sidewalk and becomes contaminated.  It is like the source that our Creator made in His image, but before long it is touched by the impurities of this earth and it becomes flawed.

 We arrive like the snowflake but soon become stained by the innermost evil that exists everywhere.  It cannot escape and, in that instant, it is damaged beyond repair.  Only God can make it pure again by His forgiveness.  He alone knows what it is like to be touched and exposed to the dangers of this world.  Like a virgin, once touched, the virginity can never be again.  That purity can never be what it was once before.  We cannot stop contamination however much we try to.   A pure canvas only needs one spot to take away its purity and then the goodness is no longer there.

 We come to earth with an impossible task of remaining fit to be a part of God.  We live our lives by trying to remain as best we can in His image and however hard we try we are doomed to failure.  This, God knows and so balances our impurities with goodness, that we create in doing good deeds in helping our fellow man and woman along the way.  We can never do enough to remove the negativity that we were stained with in our coming.  However, each good deed is like a snowflake that in landing on our soul, lightens the tone of the whole.

 The more good we do, the more we can be judged to be purified.  We are no longer lost in the darkness of not caring what happens to others.  That state of being is the result of being loveless.  We cannot be pure without loving all God’s creations and doing all we can to appreciate them and, in our love of them, goodness is born in our own souls.  With this is developed the very heart of good things that in His generosity, God rewards us for attempting the higher degree of love that we can never achieve on Earth, but we prepare the way to be in God’s image when we pass from the Earth’s negativity into the positive light of goodness once again.
