Yes, just as you can identify a tree by its fruit, so you can identify people by their actions. Matthew 7:20 NLT

Reflect Goodness\n

God\u2019s loving-kindness is greater than your troubles. When you focus on evil, His ability to operate through you is reduced to your own resources. Focus on what He wants to do through you, then watch His goodness multiply through your actions.\u00a0\n

As people who are supposed to reflect the face of God, we are to love what is good. We are to do good and celebrate anything that is selfless, kind or uplifting. Do you have a high value for the betterment of other people? Do you have the Kingdom perspective of selfless giving? If you don\u2019t, you should. It will bring heaven to earth.\u00a0\n

Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good. Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor, giving preference to one another; not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer; distributing to the needs of the saints, given to hospitality. Romans 12:9-13\u00a0\n

If you live as a redeemed resident of Heaven on Earth in the midst of this ungodly generation, you will learn to love what God loves and hate what God hates. He really loves goodness. He really loves seeing His kids go out of their way to be kind and reach out to those in need.\u00a0\n

However, He is ecstatic when He gets the glory for your goodness. To Him, it\u2019s like hearing someone say, \u201cShe\u2019s got her Father\u2019s eyes!\u201d or \u201cHe\u2019s generous just like his Daddy!\u201d It makes Him so proud when you point to Him and let people know your goodness runs in the spiritual family.\u00a0\n

When was the last time you pointed to Him? If it\u2019s been a while, find a reason today to practice goodness and brag on your Father in heaven. To God be the glory!\u00a0\n

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven. Matthew 5:16\u00a0","hover":"\nWhich Wolf Do You Feed?\n

Jesus-driven thinking helps and heals. This is what the Bible has to say on the subject: For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. \u2013 Romans 8:6\n

The Cherokee nation knew it, too. Check out this spot-on tribal tale:\n

An old Cherokee chief was teaching his grandson about life. He told the boy, \u201cA terrible fight is going on inside me. It is a fight between two wolves. One wolf is evil. He is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and self-doubt.\"\n

The old man continued: \u201cThe other wolf is good. He is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.\u201d He then told the boy, \u201cThis same fight is going on inside you and inside every other person, too.\u201d\n

The grandson thought about it for a minute, then asked his grandfather, \u201cWhich wolf will win?\u201d The wise old chief replied, \u201cThe one you feed.\u201d\n

What wolf have you been feeding? Just know the wolf of evil thoughts will eventually devour you, and likely others as well. Thoughts become actions, and there is always collateral damage.\n

That\u2019s not you! You can control your thought life and ensure the evil wolf starves to death."}},"slug":"et_pb_blurb"}">Reflect Goodness

Grounded in FaithDeclare!

The Lord has been so good to me. My soul is grateful that He saved and redeemed me, and I truly want to serve others so my life will reflect the Lord. Holy Spirit opens my eyes and helps me see those who are in need and those who are hurting. The actions for me to take and the words for me to speak are given to me, and I walk confidently knowing how to lovingly serve others.
