Being Good

Often we try being good however we usually fail. Actually only God is good and compared to him we fail miserably.

We think that we are good but only God can make us good. Our natural way is not being good at all no matter how hard we try.

I may be nice to people when I talk with them however my mind is thinking not very good thoughts though I want to very much. If you are familiar with the Ten Commandments than you know that we don’t measure up either. We all have failed in at least one of the commandments if not all of them. I know that most of us have never committed murder but when we are angry than we have committed the act of murder. You may ask how or why but Jesus said that anger is the same to God.

What do we do than we have to repent. You not familiar with that term it means to turn the other way.  Other words when start feeling angry we must turn the opposite way. We can’t act out how we truly feel.

The reason that most of us are not in jail is that we have decided to obey the laws of the land. Another way we have a conscience that allows us to stay on the straight and narrow far as we can.

So like I say the answer to being good is to repent and set our heart toward God. All other ways we fail. This may sound wrong or harsh however that is how things are. Love is the reason to say these words. Without love we don’t tell others and we stay on the road to destruction. At some point we will get into trouble when not doing good so change our way of doing things. Not something easy because our natural way we are accustomed to doing. I hope this helps us all to live a better life. Amen!
