FATHER, allow us a part in that which is still good in the world. We humbly beseech YOU; refuge for YOUR faithful servants who seek only to fulfill YOUR will and do good. Guide us down an illuminated path and shield us from all adversity. Silence all dissenting voices and opposition that may hinder the fulfillment of our destiny.
The power of doing good is immeasurable, transcending boundaries of the physical world. Acts of goodness establishes connection between people, communities, and the entire universe.
(Galatians 6:9) Teaches us not to grow weary in doing good. (Matthew 5:16) Jesus is speaking to HIS disciples, telling them to let their light shine through their good works, for good actions and deeds bring honor and glory to God. (Titus 2:7-8) Paul addresses Titus who was a Gentile convert and trusted associate. Paul referred to him as his “true child in a common faith”. Paul provides instruction to appoint elders, address false teachings, and promote Godly living among believers.
Play a role as a trusted companion and leader, to help carry out important missions in the development and establishment of the faith. In all respects, be a model of good works, and an instrument of positive change within society.
Be transformed by the act to do good.
