Pray for Families (Goodness not Perfection!)

Greetings Prayer Warriors,

Today I heard, “Don’t look for perfection in people, rather look for goodness.” Ahhhhh! Exhale; for there are millions of good people in this world and not one perfect one. Goodness is easy to find, since we were made for good by the Ultimate Good. 

How might this world be different if we looked for the good in everyone, complimented the good, and sought to be good? 

Start within your family and celebrate the good in each family member. Let your newfound joy abound. Good begets good!  Acknowledging this good produces more! Then, inviting the Ultimate Good into our lives changes everything!

For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, hated by men and hating one another; but when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of deeds done by us in righteousness, but in virtue of his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal in the Holy Spirit.  Titus 3:3-5

Lord, bless our families. Hear and receive our prayers of thanksgiving for the good in each family member. Increase the good in us so that all who come it contact with it will be forever changed, for You are the good in us!

Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet

Goodness and kindness and are special virtues. Pass them on!
