ON “BE GOOD”

ON “BE GOOD”

Have you not heard that if you want to be good, find someone to be good to every day? It’s your responsibility for being good, at least to someone, each day. Scripture teaches, “Every opportunity we have we should do good to people” (see Galatians 6:10). That means we need to be on the lookout. We need to be proactive. We need to have the mindset of, “Who can I bless today?” “For whom can I do a favour?” You can’t just sit back and wait for the need to come to you. You have to go after it. The Scripture says that the love of the considerable body of people will grow cold (see 2 Timothy 3:1–8). That means that people will be so busy, they’ll be so focused on their own needs, they’ll be so caught up in their drive for success that they won’t take time to make a difference in the life of others. Sometimes it’s easy for us to get so caught up in our little world that we’re focused only on ourselves. “I’ve got my plans. Don’t get me off my schedule.” “I’d love to help you out with some work around your house, but I’m sorry, this is football season. I don’t have the time.” But we weren’t created to live selfishly. We were created to make a difference in the lives of others. John Bunyan, the author of the classic Pilgrim’s Progress, said, “You have not lived today until you have done something for someone that cannot pay you back.” That’s it, be good to someone today!!!
