Be Eager to Do Good? ( 1 Peter 3:13)

As I was preparing to go to sleep last night, I decided to seriously open my Bible and read it for the first time in 2 weeks. ( unacceptable I know) The Scripture was 1 Peter 3:13- "Who is going to harm you if you are eager to do good?" This simple truth was a revelation for the kid, because I be eager to succeed, eager to create change, eager to have fun...but not simply just to do good. Like be excited to bless my enemies, to pray for those who persecute me, live a holy life.....because for me far too often "doing good" is a burden and not a blessing. It's like man, I can't do this or go to that because I have to be "good...", or wondering is life going to pass me by because I'm tryna be "good?"

Honestly, who is really excited to be a do-gooder? Our culture puts a premium on being bad, bad Michael Jackson. ( Yet another example of how are culture is so anti-Bible lol) Seriously tho, girls love the bad boys, we ain't going nowhere cuz it's Bad Boys for Life....ect.

We have changed language so that now bad=good, and good is no longer a word in our vocab. Yet, I am to be eager, juiced, excited to do good?!

And I will. ( try!) Being good will be the new "bad" or the old good lol. Being good shall be fun. Let's be eager to do right, to be good! WE AIN'T GOING NOWHERE, IT'S GOODY2SHOES for life :) lol
