Soul stained

“The word ‘stain’ has several definitions, and none of them are in any way pleasant and/or advantageous to causing one to have a happier frame of mind.

STAIN (just some of the definitions)

a) to bring shame upon one’s character, reputation

b) taint — disgrace — dishonor to change the appearance of

c) to treat with a coloring matter

d) a dye used to stain material

e) a moral blemish

How many times have you been upset, annoyed or angry over a stain on something?

Many descriptive words can stain reputations, such as gossip, hate, envy, swearing, lies. We rarely look deeply into the multiple definitions of a word that we might abhor if we realized the effects of its full meaning.

Connecting such words and their meaning to our Soul is not an automatic association, yet our Soul can be intimidated and/or affected by the stain that we cannot remember allowing to happen.

We rarely, if ever, associate our behavior with possibly putting a stain on our Soul. It might be difficult for some to even count this possibility in their decision of choice regarding purity or impurity, in everyday living.

This stain can be an indelible mark on our Soul when it is a grievous offense against God. It is sad that people do not see the danger that the ugliness of satanic involvement can mar so deeply the purity of our Soul.

It is important that we do everything we can to ask God’s Forgiveness and to make amends for all our sins, because, unless we make restitution now, after death our Soul will not be in a Pure State, and It must be, before It can enjoy Its proper place in Heaven.

People put indelible stains in friendships, marriages, workplaces, family circles, that cannot be fully absolved, removed, or forgotten. They use all sorts of outside avenues to correct their relationships, but they forget one important issue: only they have the power to use their own devices — charity, love, forgiveness, and purity of mind, and body.

Many times when we see a stain on something we find it disturbing. We automatically find it offensive, especially when it is something we have to handle, or if it is something we really like. Our immediate reaction is to want it removed which is not always possible.

We also rarely think that our behavior can leave a stain on family relationships, friendships and/or anyone we meet. We discount the impact of our attitude, and/or personality by ignoring what our actions, words, and/or attitude left the other person with. A few of the descriptive words could be: selfishness, indecency, arrogance, egotism.”
