DO WHAT IS RIGHT
Many people say=
There are NO SELFLESS ACTS
In this world
That everyone is MOTIVATED
By the hope=
Of a REWARD-
But I beg to differ
All we have to do
Is LOOK AT JESUS=
And dying on the cross=
GIVING HIS LIFE up
For the love of us all
“If our God-
Whom we serve
Can save us
From the white hot furnace
And from your hands=O king
May he SAVE us!
But even if he will not........
We will
NOT SERVE your God.......” Daniel 3:17-18
These three men=
Shadrach-Mescach-and Abednego
Would Not bow down
To the king
They had FAITH
In the real life
LIVING GOD
And they PROMISED to serve him
They were doing the right thing
DO WHAT IS RIGHT!
Sometimes we may act
To receive PRAISE
So that others
Will think
We are virtuous
Or we might act
In a certain way
To PROVE a point
Or to=prove someone else inferior
It is NATURAL
To hope that we are rewarded
For doing what we do
But many of us
Act in an HONEST WAY
Just to do the right thing
DO WHAT IS RIGHT!
“The Lord said
'If you listen carefully
To the Lord=your God
And DO WHAT IS RIGHT
In his eyes
If you pay attention
To his commands
And keep all his decrees
….....
I am the Lord
Who heals you'” Exodus 15:26
“The precepts of the Lord
Are RIGHT=giving joy
To the heart
The commands of the Lord
Are radiant-
Giving light to the eyes” Psalm 19:8
BEING a disciple of the
Holy Father God=and
Of Jesus Christ
Compels us
To DO THE RIGHT THING!
God asks us
To LIVE as he made us
To be
With love=kindness=and forgiveness
“Do not repay anyone
Evil for evil
Be careful TO DO
WHAT IS RIGHT
In the eyes of everyone” Romans 12:17
Therefore we trust God
To DO WHAT IS RIGHT=
Even with no earthly rewards
In sight
Just to live in faith and hope
And LOVE
And trusting God=
That our rewards=will be great
IN HEAVEN
Dear Lord=we PRAY=
Help us to DO WHAT IS RIGHT
And keep doing the right thing
Forever and ever
In Jesus' name=and in the name=of our ever JUST HOLY FATHER God!
