Be Good, Do Good, Feel Good…

No matter what happens in life, be good to people. Being good to people is a wonderful legacy to leave behind.

When you see something beautiful or good in someone, tell them. It may take seconds to say, but for them, it could last a lifetime.

Be the type of person who leaves a mark, not a scar.

Back in the days when Germany was divided, a huge wall separated East and West Berlin. 

One day, some people in East Berlin took a truck load of garbage and dumped it on the West Berlin side.

The people of West Berlin could have done the same thing, but they didn't. Instead, they took a truck load of canned goods, bread, milk and other provisions, and neatly stacked it on the East Berlin side. On top of this stack, they placed the sign: “EACH GIVES WHAT HE HAS"

How very true! You can only give what you have.

What do you have inside of you?

Is it Violence or Peace?

Death or Life?

Discouragement or Encouragement?

Pride or Humility?

Hate or Love? 

What have you acquired over the years?

Is it capacity to build or capacity to destroy?

Is it the ability to make money or steal money? 

Is it ingenuity to develop good things that will benefit mankind or ability to bomb those good things that others have labored to build?

1 John 4:4 tells us, "...He who is in you, is greater than he that is in the world."

If He dwells within us, we would have only Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, Self-control (Galatians 5:22) to give the world, depicting the light of Christ.

Stay Blessed!
