FULL OF GOODNESS=?

FULL OF GOODNESS=?


Are you CONVINCED
That your brothers and sisters
In Christ=are FULL OF GOODNESS?


I AM=I have seen too MANY
Acts of GOODNESS and kindness=
By my brothers and sisters
That I know I am NOT CAPABLE
Of doing


“I myself am CONVINCED about you
My BROTHERS=that you yourselves
Are FULL OF GOODNESS


Filled with ALL knowledge
And ABLE to admonish one another” Romans 15:14


There is MUCH to ponder in this letter
By Saint Paul=Am I committed -
To LOVING my neighbor?


And am I ready to
ASSUME the BEST of others
As well as giving them-the
BENEFIT of the DOUBT=when
I DON'T understand
Their words or actions?


Can I SEE that OTHERS=are
FULL OF GOODNESS too=and that
They are MY ALLIES in GOD'S
UNFOLDING PLAN for eternal happiness
And GOODNESS in this world?


FULL OF GOODNESS?


“For the Lord GOD is a SUN
And SHIELD


The Lord bestows
FAVOR and Honor
No good thing
Does he withhold


From those
Whose walk is BLAMELESS” Psalm 84:11


“A good name-
Is more DESIRABLE-than great riches


To be ESTEEMED
Is better than silver or gold” Proverbs 22:1


SOME of=many of our
Brothers and sisters=
Are FULL OF GOODNESS
In the Lord


“For we are GOD'S HANDIWORK
CREATED in Christ Jesus
To do GOOD WORKS


Which God PREPARED=in advance=
For us to do” Ephesians 2:10


“LIVE such GOOD LIVES-
Among the pagans
That though they ACCUSE YOU
Of doing wrong


That they may SEE
Your GOOD DEEDS
And GLORIFY GOD=on the day
That he visits us” 1 Peter 2:12


Be AWARE that others
Are FULL OF GOODNESS too


And though their perspectives
May DIIFER from ours
That they are GOOD PEOPLE too


They are just seeing
The world DIFFERENTLY


Can we admit to OURSELVES
That sometimes others have an INSIGHT
That I/WE do not see?


Sometimes people's MOTIVES are different
Than ours=But they are
FULL OF GOODNESS too


They too are GENUINE and JUSTIFIED
Just as we-OURSELVES=ARE


LIVING & LOOKING for ONE UNIFIED WORLD


In the names of Jesus and HIS MOST HEAVENLY FATHER
