Goodness is one
of our God’s amazing characters. It is His very nature. As I look at my Bible,
the word “goodness” is always associated with our loving Father. But when our
hearts are totally yielded to God, and His Spirit is at work in our lives, He
requires goodness from us.
Goodness is
the honesty to be true to one’s self and to others. It is the integrity to
accept that we are what we are only by the grace of God and that every talent
and every skill are God’s gift to us. It is the honesty to accept that we are
nothing without Him.
Goodness is
the graciousness to remain silent when malicious and hurtful criticisms are
hurled against us because we are conscious that we need not retaliate for we
are bearing Christ’s name.
Goodness is
the decency to work hard for every cent than to be rich through dishonest gain.
And last but
not the least… goodness is the righteousness of God at work in your life and in
my life. It is the confidence that we can do all things through Christ!
Therefore, let us choose goodness!
