But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. -Galatians 5:22-23 (ESV)

As we survey the world around us, goodness is there but sometimes you have to look very hard to see it. There are a lot of people doing good in general but we usually see the opposite of goodness displayed for all to see because of our world's sin nature, us included, we're not always very good at goodness.

Because of God's goodness toward us as displayed through His Son Jesus, and because of His Spirit working in and through us to grow in the fruit of The Spirit of Goodness, may we grow in goodness and lead the way as we show, however imperfectly, those around us what a true follower of Christ looks like!
