fruits of the Spirit ---GOODNESS

IT'S TIME FOR FRUITS FRIDAY YALL. TODAY, IS A GOOD ONE.. LOL IT IS GOODNESS..
*GOODNESS IS THE GOOD HEART FROM WHICH THE GOOD DEEDS COME IS ESSENTIAL.

Luke 8:15 King James Version (KJV)

¹⁵ But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.
*BEING HONEST AND A GOOD HEART GOES A LONG WAY. GOODNESS IS THE PRODUCT OF A GOOD HEART.

Matthew 7:16-17 King James Version (KJV)

¹⁶ Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
¹⁷ Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

Romans 12:21 King James Version (KJV)

²¹ Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

* A TREE IS KNOWN BY IT'S FRUIT IT BEARS. A CORRUPT TREE LIKE A CORRUPT MIND WILL BRING FORTH BAD FRUIT.
ONE OF THE BEST THINGS SOMEONE CAN SAY ABOUT YOU IS THAT YOU ARE A GOOD PERSON. THIS DOES NOT JUST MEAN BY YOUR GOOD WORKS, BUT BY THE EXAMPLE YOU LEAD, AND BY THE WAY YOU WALK WITH GOD. IF A PERSON SEES YOU PRAISING GOD IN THE VALLEY, IT IS EASIER TO SEE THE GOOD, WHY?? BECAUSE YOU ARE TRUSTING GOD AND HIS WAYS AND GOODNESS! REMEMBER HIS WAYS ARE NOT OUR WAYS! THIS ALSO DOES NOT MEAN YOU ARE PERFECT OR CLAIM TO BE AN ANGEL, BUT A GOOD PERSON.
* GOODNESS IS ACHIEVED BY WALKING IN THE SPIRIT! THERE IS POWER IN GOODNESS TO OVERCOME EVIL! 
*SOME RANDOM ACTS OF GOODNESS INCLUDE :
-DO SOMETHING FOR SOMEONE WHO DOES NOT EXPECT ANYTHING.
-DO SOME CLEANING OR YARD WORK FOR AN ELDER.
-REPAIR SOMETHING FOR SOMEONE THAT NEEDS HELP.
-LIFT SOMEONE UP WHO HAS FALLEN AND NEEDS ENCOURAGEMENT.
-A SIMPLE PRAYING FOR YOU MEANS AND SAYS A LOT! 
* PEOPLE WHO DEMONSTRATE GOODNESS HAVE A BIG HEART. THEY WOULD GIVE YOU ANYTHING THEY HAD. THEY WOULD PROVIDE FOR YOU IN TIMES OF NEED.
HERE IS A BIG ONE..... GOODNESS IS THE GOLDEN RULE IN PRACTICE!!
*SEE THE GOOD IN OTHERS. NOTICE HOW THEY CARRY THEMSELVES. DO THEY  LOOK LIKE THEY ENJOY LIFE?
*HEAR THE CRYS FOR THE NEEDY FOR GOOD.
*BE GOOD AND HELP SOMEONE BEAR A HEAVY BURDEN.
*HAVE HELPING HANDS WHO NEED FOR SOMEONE WHO NEEDS YOU TO BE STRONG. 
*HAVE FEET TO POINT SOMEONE IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION!
MR. JOHN WESLEY SAID IT BEST...'' DO ALL THE GOOD YOU CAN,BY ALL THE MEANS YOU CAN, IN ALL THE WAYS YOU CAN, IN ALL THE PLACES YOU CAN, AT ALL THE TIMES YOU CAN, TO ALL THE PEOPLE YOU CAN, AS LONG AS EVER YOU CAN.'' 
WHAT A GREAT AND TRUE STATEMENT. LET US DO GOOD THINGS BUT MOST OF ALL, SHOW THE GOODNESS OF GOD TO OTHERS!
