Morning Inspiration with Pastor Merritt
Goodness is not found in the head or the hands; it is tucked away in one's heart. According to Jesus Christ, who was not only a good man but also the only perfect person who ever lived, "The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart" (Luke 6:45). Goodness is not a matter of what we know or what we do; it is a matter of what we are.
Have you ever considered that a musician is judged not by how long he plays with how well he plays? As you think about the life ahead of you, what really matters is not how long you live but how well you live. Sir Francis Bacon once said, "Of all virtues and dignities of the mind, goodness is the greatest, being the character of the Deity; and, without it, man is a busy, mischievous, wretched thing."
