A Late-Night Musing

Here's something small that I realized: being a good person or a godly person is not a one-and-done thing. It's not one instantaneous change in you that transforms you so you can call yourself "good." Being good is about making a series of choices, it is an attitude, it is a lifestyle. If I want to be good, nothing is stopping me except for myself. Only I stand in my own way of being a good person. Next time you find yourself saying "Gosh, I'm not as good as I used to be." Instead of blaming external factors, try looking within and take a long hard look at your relationship with God, and those around you.
