What You See Is What You Get
Obviously Jesus isn’t just talking about your physical eyes with pupils, retinas, lenses and all that. He’s talking about how what you see effects your spirit, your heart, and your mind. When you watch violence, your mind is filled with violence. When you watch soap operas, your mind is full of gossip and immorality. When you look at pornography your mind and heart are full of lust. You are what you eat. Garbage in, garbage out. What you see is what you get. What is it you want to come out of your life? That’s what you need to fill your life with. You need to be deliberate about it. You need to be careful about it. Fill it with God’s word. Fill it with love and compassion. Fill it with justice and righteousness. Your mind and heart are like a Tivo, but not so easily erased. If one were to plug your brain into a TV and hit the “play” button, what would they be watching? The reality is that God can see that at all times. If that scares you then you have some work to do. I’m not trying to get you with guilt, I’m trying to keep you on guard. You cannot have guilty pleasures and Godly pleasures at the same time. So check your specs. Clean the glasses of your heart and mind so that you will be full of light and not darkness.
