Fruits of the Spirit: Goodness

Fruits of the Spirit
DAY FOUR: Goodness
"Do not be deceived: “Bad company ruins good morals.”--1 Cor 15:33
"You are good and do good; teach me your statutes."--Psalm 119:68
"I myself am satisfied about you, my brothers (and sisters), that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge and able to instruct one another."--Romans 15:14

Goodness is living a way that is walking with excellence all the day long. It's the highest of standards. It's exemplifies high moral character with integrity. When you begin to live in a way that does not judge others for their choices, but rather learns to live in accordance to what God wants and desires over your life, you can have goodness because you can live as an open book. Nothing needs to be hidden because you are choosing a life of high morals and honesty. It's refreshing because there are no more lies and remembering which lies you told to who and when and how, etc. Living a life of goodness allows others to see something amazing and it's very attractive to everyone who bears witness to it.




DEFINITION
Goodness: noun. the state or quality of being good. moral excellence; virtue. kindly feeling; kindness; generosity. excellence of quality: goodness of workmanship. the best part of anything; essence; strength.
But, the Bible tells us that the word 'good' actually means holy, pure and righteousness. Literally goodness is godliness.
Synonyms for goodness are integrity, honesty, uprightness, probity, benevolence, benignity, humanity, worth, value.

THE TASK TODAY: Walk upright in all that you do with integrity. Whether it be in work, school or at home, exhibit all your behaviors with good workmanship not slacking in any way and showing the best in moral character. Everything you do should be done in a holy and pure way that if Jesus were standing right there next to you, he would approve and say to you "well done."
We are better together.
Have a blessed day, Kimala

Wading through Grief

Image
  Wading through Grief The nature of grief seems to spill into other areas of our lives while we attempt to navigate it's shores. We can begin to believe we got a better handle on it, creating boundaries to keep it tucked inside, but it can spread quickly and overtake the lines we draw in the sand. So true. As you stand on its shores, can you see what's ahead? Look for the smallest sparkle of light. God knows your heart. He knows what pains you deeply. He sees you long for what and who you miss so dearly. Recognize your desire to replace the hole that was left inside of you. Fill it with God's goodness and let His love wash over any areas that have left you feeling high and dry. What you thirst for, He has for you. "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds."--Psalm 147:3 Soon, you will recognize that grief was a gift He provided to help you swim to the next new shore. New territory can spring forth new beginnings. Yes, it will look and feel different. ...

Our Body is a Temple

  KIMALA'S CORNER Our Body is a Temple Consider this: what have you done for yourself lately regarding your physical self care? Do you actively engage in exercise or strenuous activity to get it moving and burning excess calories? Do you conciously choose healthy eating options and promote good healthcare? Do you make regular appointments for dental and physician routine check ups? Do you take care of your outward appearance regarding your hair, face, skin, nails, etc? How about mental self care? Do you only intake that which would do you well, pondering, contemplating and considering your mental thoughts? Do you carefully screen what you watch, listen to and read? Do you take opportunity to unplug and unwind by resting yourself? How about spiritual self care?

Are you involved with a ministry or bible study with your church? Are you he...

Exceeding Love

Image
Exceeding Love We cannot comprehend it. This kind of unconditional love. The outpouring from a Savior who would give anything for us--longing to have relationship with you and I. No man or woman walking this Earth can compare or even come close to loving you the way that Jesus does. No one. Today, dig deep inside to fill the hurt, anger, pain, upset, anxiousness, worry or disappointment with the One True God. His love is exceeding--His love is healing. Allow yourself to be filled to measure--what does that mean exactly? Well, in my mind, it means to the tippy top!!!! He loves you that much. "and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God."--Ephesians 3:19 We are better together when we are Splashed in the Spirit.
