Do Good
We live in a world where although all of our basic needs are met we continuously convince ourselves we need so many things. I just need the latest Ipod, game , vacation or type of pants.
We neglect so many others in our pursuit of empty needs. As said in a Song called kingdom of comfort. “What I gain is someone else’s loss”. How to we break this addiction to being selfish?
Do Good. You get up, take your time, energy, possessions, influence and skills and you do something with it that helps someone else in a positive way. Meet peoples real needs. Make things better.
Even better do it together: Then you are being together and doing good at the same time.
There is something to be said about being a good doer. Many of us have bitterness towards the world a chip on our shoulders about doing anything because what has the world given them. This is pure pride. Everything we have is by grace, we should have a deep gratitude for life but just like a smoker can’t smell their smoke. The selfish person can’t see their bitterness and ungratefulness, it is just a stench that follows them around leaving a trail of lost opportunities for good.
I pray we can begin to be less selfish, take it seriously, get on the wagon and make choices out of a heart that says what is the best thing I can do with all that I have been given.
Grace and Peace to you
Adam
