The Art of Doing Good

We are all busy people. Sometimes we get so caught up in all the things going on around us that we forget to take the time to do something nice for others. Think about how much it makes your day when you get a letter in the mail, you find a little surprise someone left you, or you get a hug on a day that has been very tough. Wouldn't you want to give someone else that same feeling?

There is probably someone you have in mind when it comes to doing things for others. They might even appreciate the fact that you thought of them. However, wouldn't it be the greatest compliment to hear "I can tell (insert name here) loves God because he/she treats others so well." Shouldn't our motivation to do good come from our love of the Father?

This week I am challenging you my friends to do something good. Don't do it to be acknowledged. Don't do it to get another star in your crown. Do it out of pure love. You might be surprised at how doing "good things" can creep into your lifestyle once you start. Whether you have 10 minutes or a couple of hours, something simple can mean a lot.
