Two things are hard on the heart--running upstairs, and, running down people!!!
Wouldn't this world be better,
If folks whom we meet would say,
"I know something good about you,"
And treat you just that way?
Wouldn't it be splendid,
If each handshake, good, and, true,
Carried with it this assurance;
"I know something good about you?"
Wouldn't life be happier,
If the good that's in us all,
Were the only about us,
That people would recall?
Wouldn't our days be sweeter,
If we praised the good we see?
For there is a lot of goodness,
In the worst of you and me.
Wouldn't it be fine to practice,
This way of thinking too;
You know something good about me,
I know something good about you?
Since we can never know, or, tell the full story about any other human being, why not just skip to the good highlights???
Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. EPHESIANS 4:29...
~~EXCERPTED from GOD'S LITTLE DEVOTIONAL BOOK (WOMEN)~~
AMEN!!! I LOVE this!!! It is just TOO perfectly true!!! There IS lots of good to be found, in the worst of you and, me!!!
In this present time, people have become very critical, even cynical; doubting good, or, thwarting good in others, that they might seem better! Futile attempt, as NONE, not one, is better, we are, each, in the same circumstance of being tainted by err, from birth to death, our ONLY saving GRACE is the GIFT of CHRIST!!!
As we walk with our LORD, *GOD*, let us remember such profound words, and, recall that HE wishes us to live in the LOVE of BROTHERHOOD; upholding, uplifting, encouraging, supporting, and, respecting one another, as, it strengthens not one, but, all, as well as honours HIS SACRED intentions, which work for the GOOD of ALL, and, EVERYTHING! Remember, it IS written, if you LOVE *GOD*, but, hate a Brother, you are NOT living in HIS WAY, thus, are in err!!!
I KNOW it is difficult to LOVE the whole world, I have said before, I do NOT know how *GOD* does it, but, that is why HE is *GOD*, and, we are, well, what we are! People, led by deception, and, the world, get up in your face, in your mind, then, in your spirit, which is EXACTLY what *GOD* does NOT want to happen to HIS Children, thus, HE has COMMANDED that we LIVE, and, EXIST in LOVE, BROTHERHOOD, and, PEACE, that we ARE WINNING in the battle of GOODNESS over evil!!!
Several things we REALLY need to learn to secure our place in the HOLY COVENANT, are, LOVE, FAITH, HOPE, HUMILITY, and the loss of self! LOVE covers MORE ground than you could ever imagine, at least, that HOLIEST LOVE which CREATED ALL, and, EVERYTHING! FAITH SECURES us, and, keeps our vision to the LIGHT, through HOPE, which FURTHERS our determinations, endurance, tolerance, and, so forth! HUMILITY teaches us that we ARE of *GOD*, are NOTHING without HIM/HIS WILL, and, to train our charcter to please HIM, instead of self! Of course, there ARE more imperatives to *GOD'S* WAY, but, these few, IF truly embraced, and, utilized, ARE empowered to lift us ABOVE the struggles we face in our walk with *GOD*!!!
Let us then, begin to understand LOVE, and, then, to SEE something GOOD in everyone, BEFORE we judge them, condemn them, and, compromise the GIFT of salvation! Let us ALWAYS SEEK the GOOD in ALL, and, EVERYTHING, AS, that is the PREMISE upon which ALL, and, EVERYTHING was founded!!! AMEN???
