Hi friends & families – There are a few phrases that come to mind when I think of the word goodness. Goodness knows what will happen next. Oh my goodness! This is the one I love because I automatically think of a child or someone being pleasantly surprised by family, friends or someone special to them. I am certain that God wants to use families to spend His goodness around and have a great impact in our world.
My friend Reid the Scroll is here to talk about the Fruit of the Spirit and GOODNESS
Remember – The Lord can accomplish so much when we are mindful of goodness. The word goodness means the quality of being good, righteous or virtuous. Goodness can be represented with a kind word, a small but meaningful gesture like a card, a smile or listening to a friend. Parents, when we are deliberate about showing goodness, our children will be greatly influenced by this behaviour. Just think of that last time you opened a door for someone or said thank you so much to someone who served you. Your kids are watching and it is having an impact.
Review – Review Galatians 5:22-23 with your family.
Receive truth today – The Lord Jesus is the author of goodness. Let us remember the other Fruit of the Spirit like love, joy and kindness and how they could work together with goodness.
Respond in prayer – Dear Lord Jesus, Show my family and me how to display acts of goodness. Please use our family to surprise someone this week with an act of goodness. We pray this in the name of Jesus. Amen.
