How rarely we find goodwill around us today.
Fools mock at making amends for sin,
but goodwill is found among the upright. (Proverbs 14:9)
- Angry drivers yell at angry drivers.
- People flight to be the first in line.
- A co-worker doesn't listen.
- Employees are disgruntled.
(that list could go on and on)
The common bond of God's people should be goodwill.
Goodwill is defined as: friendly, helpful, or cooperative feelings or attitudes.
Those with goodwill think the best of others and assume that others have good motives and intend to do what is right.
Next time someone crosses you, and makes you angry, ask yourself, "How can I show goodwill to this person."
My challenge to you is to really think the best of others. I guarantee that will make you way happier and you'll have a more positive outlook on life and other people.
I write for one reason, and that is to encourage others, give perspective, and get people excited about their faith.
