In response to your question, I would state more-specifically that it is God in us--his Holy Spirit--that allows us the strength, wisdom, ability, and righteousness to see through the ugliness. In fact, some of what we would consider ugly with our worldly eyes is deemed beautiful through godly eyes. The main point was intended to be that we should seek God and his kingdom and turn away from the things that don't belong in that scenario. Mark, thanks for the reply and the kind word.

I might quibble with one point -- you say, "It’s about following Christ and all that is beautiful in God’s ways while we shed all that is ugly." -- but isn't it HE who sheds all that we see as ugly, not we?
