Is Your Goodness Attractive?

Join our conversation!Welcome... to Let’s Journey Together- a Moment with Father. I’m Linda Goldfarb, and I want to encourage and inspire your walk with the Lord. For more encouragement, please visit LindaGoldfarb.com.  I’m so glad you’re here.Is Your Goodness Attractive?As I think about my day-to-day activities, a recurring thought invades my peace. “Is God’s goodness evident in my life?”You know when you meet someone and think, “There’s something about this person drawing me in to know them more.” Not in a creepy way, but in a subtle, feel-good, feel-safe way.I’ve encountered strangers who are now my friends because of the strong attraction to get to know them. Over the years, I discovered it’s the goodness of God I experience in them. Every time.God’s goodness is given to us via the Holy Spirit. Once our life becomes His temple, Father’s goodness is like lit incense, drawing attention to who He is in us to who He is in others. And who He desires to be in the lives of those who experience His sweet aroma. Does the thought of our Creator’s presence being experienced by others through you seem impossible? Oh my friend not only is it possible, it’s guaranteed. Read in Titus, how the goodness and kindness of our Savior is poured richly on those who are justified by His grace. “But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life” (Titus 3:4-7 ESV).Before I experienced others seeing God’s goodness in me, I felt awkward, too. I actually ignored the words spoken into me because it felt weird. Yet, over time, as my spiritual life grew, I recognized multiple purposes of the Holy Spirit residing in me.One purpose is to project Himself to others in their day-to-day lives through us. My life is not about me but the Holy Spirit in me. How powerful is that?!? When others meet us, the goodness of God in us will attract them to Him. We simply follow His leading. How have you experienced the Holy Spirit leading you?One thing I say to Father each morning is, “May all I do, all I say, and all I consider bring You glory, O God.”Isn’t it a great feeling to know our God loves communicating with us?Let’s journey together Abba Daddy, thank You for loving me so much.  Thank You for being ever present in my life and wanting an intimate relationship with me. Guide my heart, Holy Spirit, to listen closely for Your voice. Help me use my words, actions, and thoughts to bring You glory and honor. I call You my God, and I place all my hope in Your Son, Jesus. May Your goodness in me be attractive to others every day. Hallelujah. Do not merely listen to the word and so deceive yourselves; do what it says. James 1:22May YHWH bless you, keep you, and guide you in all you do. Until next time, this is Linda Goldfarb, and I’m so glad we are on this journey together with Father.Staying Real Just Got Easier!Discover Your God-Designed PersonalityFollow Linda Goldfarb on FacebookLeave a comment for Linda and HeatherCheck out Linda's BooksCheck out Heather's Books
