In my pursuit of purity, I have to admit that I do find it hard to discern sins in my life. I think that it's because I tend to generalise sins to the 'obvious' sins, such as stealing, lying, immorality etc. However, I'm becoming increasingly convicted that my motives for doing certain things may actually constitute sin in my life. Wrong motives prevent me from having a heart of purity.
'All a man's ways seem innocent to him, but motives are weighed by the Lord.' Proverbs 16:2
'Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait till the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of men's hearts. At that time, each will receive his praise from God.' 1Cor 4:5
