Adding Goodness to Your Bag
"For the fruit of the Spirit is goodness…"- Galatians 5:22
Goodness is one of those spiritual qualities that might seem straightforward but carries real significance. When the Bible talks about goodness as a fruit of the Spirit, it’s referring to a moral excellence that goes beyond mere actions, it’s about the integrity of our character and our desire to do what is right.
Goodness is more than just performing good deeds, it’s about embodying a spirit of righteousness and moral virtue. It’s the quality of acting out of a heart that genuinely wants to do what is right, not just in the eyes of others, but in the sight of God. When you add goodness to your spiritual bag, you’re not only striving to do good things but also aiming to be a good person, reflecting the nature of Christ in your daily life.
Why is goodness so important? It’s because it influences every part of who we are. When you are filled with goodness, your actions are motivated by a pure heart and a desire to honor God. This impacts how you interact with others, make decisions, and handle challenges. Goodness leads you to act with integrity, fairness, and honesty, even when no one is watching.
Adding goodness to your bag means aligning your actions with God’s standards, rather than the shifting values of the world. It’s about making choices that reflect the righteousness of God, whether you’re in a position of authority or just interacting with others in everyday situations. Goodness shows up in how you treat people, how you speak, and how you handle life’s ups and downs.
Is goodness the next quality you need to cultivate in your life? Ask yourself if your actions and intentions align with God’s call to be good. Reflect on whether your decisions are motivated by a desire to honor Him or simply by convenience or personal gain.
As you seek to add goodness to your spiritual bag, remember that it’s not about being perfect but about pursuing a heart that desires to reflect God’s character. Let goodness be a natural outgrowth of your relationship with Christ, guiding your actions and choices.
