Goodness an internal quality that we develop through our relationship with YHWH!
Goodness is a ministering love. It is a gentle rebuke, a push for repentance, a guide to get us back on His path. Remember that it is narrow and FEW will find it.
I think I can speak for anyone listening to this weeks episode, that we all desperately want to be included in the few who not only find His narrow path, but STAY on His narrow path!
To embody the Fruit of goodness, we must follow the example laud out before us from Yeshua. We must gently rebuke others from their lawlessness. We must also be a good example, showing that our faith {remember that it is a verb} keeps us digging for His truth. It keeps us seeking His. We know that when we seek we will find.
Revelation 2:26 tells us "And he who overcomes, and guards My works until the end, to him I shall give authority over the nations." {this is a reference to Psalm 2:8} So if kindness is meeting real needs, in YHWHs way, in His timing, then Goodness is the benefit of an upright heart and life from meeting those needs.It is also a benefit to us in this life and our life to come when we reunite with YHWH.
Every time, we obey His word, we bear the fruit of goodness.
As Amanda reminded us today, His Living word is just that...living. It changes with us as we grow and mature. Offering us more and more understanding. When you read the story of the Good Samaritan today- in the light and understanding you now have- does it hit differently?
Remember always- heart posture is the point. It is the root of it all. Do not ever let the enemy distract you from remembering that. Do all you do in service of the Father. Strive always to be someone who walks like Yeshua. Keep your heart on His ways.
