Truth In Love

Truth In Love…

Once, we had two cub scouts, who decided to do a very special good deed for all the motorists in their area. They stood on the side of the road, warning the cars of a police radar trap just ahead. When the organization found out what was happening, they quickly put an end to it.

Sometimes, what we think are good deeds aren’t really good. They may be nice, but nice isn’t always good. It might be nice to agree with people to make them feel good, but sometimes the very thing that makes them feel good hinders them from ever becoming good.

Living simply to please people, giving them what they demand, isn’t the way of righteousness. If someone is drunk and wants to drive home, you can be nice and let them go. The good thing to do is to stop them. It doesn’t feel good, but it’s the most loving thing you can do.

You’re not called to be agreeable and nice. You’re called to be good, and sometimes love has to be tough. God isn’t always agreeable, but He’s always good. You are the same.

Dear friend, do not imitate what is evil but what is good. Anyone who does what is good is from God. Anyone who does what is evil has not seen God.  3 John 11

Walk in righteousness and do what is good today.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,

Ed 🙏🏼
