“Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people” Galations 6:10.
I can honestly say this verse is something I consciously work on everyday. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve dissected Galations 6:10. I know it seems self explanatory but then why isn’t it easier? “All people” means “All people”. Helping, listening, offering, forgiving, NOT gossiping, understanding….I believe when God says “as we have opportunity” also means “make an effort” because we’re human, sometimes we struggle with who the person is, or what the person needs. But no matter how big the struggle is…God’s command stays the same “…let us do good to all people.”
We all have people in our lives who create chaos and drama at every turn, those who use us, don’t appreciate us and some who just simply treat us like dirt….God’s command stays the same “…let us do good to all people.” Why is it so hard...or is it?
I do believe it’s okay to separate yourself from those people who suck the life out of you, and maybe the only good thing you can muster up is to lift them up in prayer. Well good for you because that’s the opportunity you ALWAYS have!
Easter is upon us. That man who died on the cross…the one you call your Savior…He had an opportunity to do good to all people. What would have happened to us if he declined because of who we are or what we need.? God’s command always stays the same. In honor of Christ’s sacrifice, in gratitude of our forgiven sins…because of principle, admiration, respect, privilege, reverence, because God loves us unconditionally, because Christ died to give us eternal life, because He rose again like he said He would...for those reasons do good to all people, you ALWAYS have the opportunity.
