Seven Filters, part 2

Proverbs 6:16-19 says, 
There are six things that the Lord hates, 
seven that are an abomination to him:
haughty eyes, a lying tongue,
and hands that shed innocent blood,
a heart that devises wicked plans,
feet that hurry to run to evil, 
a lying witness who testifies falsely,  
and one who sows discord in a family.

Therefore, is it reasonable to conclude that:

There are six things that the Lord loves, 
seven that are a delight to Him? 
Humble eyes, a truthful tongue,
and hands that reach out to help, 
a heart that considers righteous plans,
feet that hurry to run to goodness, 
an honest witness who testifies truthfully,
and one who sows peacefulness in a family.

At the end of the day, how do your actions measure up?
Food for thought during a fasting season!
