Do Something Good!

What is it about doing something affirming that makes you feel good? Whether you do something good for yourself or others, the act of doing good is profound.

I like that doing something good for someone else gets me out of my own head and focusing upon what I have that can help someone else. In giving, I gain greater awareness of who God created me to be and where I fit in His big plan. I relearn that my life matters and that others are counting on me to do what I was created to do. These statements may seem lofty, but even at the most basic levels, my connections with others matter.

Simple acts of kindness are transformational. A few words of encouragement may override someone’s contemplation of suicide. Some dollars may keep someone from resorting to crime to meet basic needs. A call for justice will give voice to the invisible. We may not know the impacts of our giving, but God does and He’s counting on us to show and share His love with a hurting world. One life does matter and makes a difference. Let’s commit our concerns to God and go about His business of doing good. He’ll take care of us and we’ll meaningfully impact our world for good!
