Being Good

 

 

 

 

In life most of us try to be good. The truth is we are not that good at it. At least I am speaking for myself anyway.

As much good we do I think for most of us it an act. There is always motive being behind us being good. I am not saying this to say that we can’t be good we just do it for the wrong reasons most of the time which is OK because that is who we are.

One thing for sure is that God knows that we are not good. You see he knows everything about us. It is not though he is fine with us not being good however he understands we are not and for all the times we try to be good he loves us anyway.

We should try to be good but if we fail it is OK because God forgives us though people may not always.

I am saying all this to say that we should not try to be good we need to be ourselves and if things work where we are not being good ask forgiveness and move on.

The reason things do go well is not because of our goodness it is because we have laws that can keep us in order as much as possible and most of us have a conscience. This is where the difference between us and those who do terrible things is our conscience. Those who do terrible things most of the time don’t have a conscience. So our conscience and the laws keep the world safe to some degree. Also God’s grace is probably the foremost reason the world isn’t crazier.

So try being good because we will be better persons but don’t beat yourself up when you’re not; again this is part of life where we encourage each other. Oh yes remember to keep your smile on!
