Goodness Knows we need more Goodness


At some point in high school I became stuck on the question, “What if the biggest problem in the world is a lack of goodness?”  Everybody always talked about how bad things were getting and how people were more evil than they had ever been.  We are humans we are sinners so of course there are tons of bad things happening just watch the news for 60 seconds and that is obvious.  But what I wanted to know why there wasn’t just as much goodness to counteract it.  Everybody just talked and talked about how bad our world has become but nobody was doing anything.  I would listen to them complain and think, “Wonder if you had road rage on the way here, how impatient did you get in the grocery checkout line,  have you complemented or encouraged anybody recently?”  Would the bad look so bad if we had more good?  If people felt loved and accepted would that make them not want to do bad things?  What if our world just lacks goodness?

When is the last time you helped counteract the bad?  Spread some goodness today!

“In order to be remembered… leave nothing behind but goodness.”
