Therefore, whenever we have the opportunity, we should do good to everyone—especially to those in the family of faith.
Galatians 6:10
Do Good to Everyone
Do good to everyone, especially those of the faith. Take every opportunity to show goodness to each other. Unfortunately, we see the opposite in churches sometimes. There are people who only do good to those whom they consider their friends. You may have heard people use the term “village” to refer to the people in their circle. While it is incredibly important to have people who support you and can encourage you, we should make sure that we see those who are not a part of our village. The danger is that many Christians only focus on those people and do not see anyone else. This can be why some people will not step foot in a church.
It is our job as Christians to show kindness to everyone we encounter, especially in our churches, so people who join us will see the work of Jesus in our lives.
A Prayer to Remember
Dear Lord,
Help us show kindness to our Christian brothers and sisters and to those we don’t know. May we show them the goodness you’ve shown us to others. Amen.
