Most of us would say that we are a good person and I am sure most of us are most of the time however we are not good all the time at least that is how I feel about it. Being a truly good person we would have to be all the time. Have we ever lied or swore any in our lifetime I would say that almost everyone has at least once so that would disqualify us as being a total good person.
What I am coming to say here is that goodness is a gift given by God to us. Having goodness is not naturally part of our dna no matter how much we say that we are good. What makes things as good as possible is that we have a conscience and we are able to use that to our highest ability. Those who we would consider bad people don't have a good conscience most of the time. Those people do things we don't even like to talk about most of the time. Our conscience keeps us from doing those things and we have laws to keep ourselves in order along with being accountable.
Being a gift from God means that we have goodness when it is really necessary to help other people. It is right there with grace, sympathy, hope and love among the gifts. It is not like we don't act like good people most of the time because I believe most of us do however goodness raises us to another level.
It is a really good thing to have gifts like goodness because everyone needs to have a touch of goodness bestowed on them at least once in a while. I would say in a way it is like getting a good hug when we need one. Actually it is something we all could use on a daily basis. Life can be hard a lot of the time and having someone throw goodness our way makes us feel much better at the time. So when you have that super duper goodness let others have a touch.
