Good Heart vs Bad Heart

There are far more people with good hearts in our world. They see a wrong done and want to make it right. They see a person in need and want to help.

Yet Bad always wants to quench the Good out/ of us through fear, intimidation, unforgiveness, neglect etc.

I can’t help that person, what would other people think?

I can’t help them after what they did to so and so!

If I help them what would my friends think.

Those people aren’t from my current associations.

I don’t have time.

Instead, let Good over power Bad.

Good will always stifle Bad if we allow it!

I’m going to help them. It doesn’t matter what somebody else thinks. If it was me, I’d be thankful for their help.

I will lay aside what they did to so and so, forgive and show goodness to them. Maybe it will melt their heart.

If my friends don’t like me helping out, then maybe I need new friends.

Our blood is all the same color and we’re all human beings, so Yes, I will help them.

I may be busy, but this will only take a portion of my time and we will both be better off.

See…it’s in you. God put his heart of goodness in you.

Now we gotta let out of our heart what is really in it.

Begin to overpower the bad with good—though you!

 

 

Life As a Pitcher

We’re not talking about baseball here…

We’re talking about pouring—not tossing.

Do you see yourself as a pitcher…a container of liquid pouring out on people wherever you go?…because we are.

We’re always pouring something out on somebody…

Pouring out words…good, bad, blessing, cursing.

Pouring out thought waves…good vibes, bad vibes.

Pouring out actions…helpful, hurtful.

Take a look at what’s in your pitcher.

What tap is your pitcher filling from?

Is the liquid clear and refreshing or polluted or stagnant?

Take good care of yourself so you have fresh water in your pitcher…that’s what you’ll have to pour out for others.

I’m going to wash my pitcher out and fill it with fresh water….meet you at the pump!


Overcome Evil with Good

Why? How does that do anything? Evil needs to be punished, people say.

God is the rewarder of good and evil. We each have God’s law written in our heart, so we automatically know right from wrong.

Choose good, it will make you feel better.

Good promotes good. Bad promotes bad.

Decide which you will do. What is best for you, your family, your neighbor, your community, your country.

It all starts with you. You pass on what you know, you share it with others.

What are you sharing? What we do multiplies into more good or more bad. and we always are sharing something…a thought a word, a deed, an attitude.

You share you, wherever you are! Even if you are only sharing you with you!!!

What you share multiplies! Remember the Friendship Bread recipe? The more you mixed it up and divided it, the more it grew…(It almost turned into a monstrosity and people got tired of it! )

God, help me think about what I’m sharing, help me respond in a way that ultimately brings good out of a bad situation.
