(KJV.) GALATIANS 4:18
(18) But it is good to be zealously affected always in a good thing, and not only when I am present with you.
BE ZEALOUS!
Grace be unto you! At certain point in our lives, there is a burning sensation that fires within our souls, this type of a sensation, energizes our spirits to go above and beyond the norms, fervently engage ourselves in doing more of whatever we desire to do; however, when one is caught up in certain practice or behavior, it can either be psychologically harmful or spiritually beneficial to that individual, produce a negative or positive influence on others; therefore, let us ponder on what we focus on, engage in, cannot forgo, do without, on daily basis, search our hearts to discern, if that behavior is positively or negatively influencing others.
In this twenty-first century, calamities are happening over the world, simply because, at times, we pay too much attention to cell phone gadgets than oncoming traffics, as a result, many lives were lost in automobile accidents; for example, some of us, spent time bonding with cell phones, text messages, watching television, prefer peaceful times with electronic gadgets over quality times with loved ones, as a result, our spouses and children cry out for lovely associations, to silence our kids, we get them their own gadgets, to separate them from bonding together with us, that we may spend times with whatever we enjoy doing; don't get me wrong, I have nothing against cell phones, I am speaking to you and myself; the point is, as we excessively engage ourselves in what we like to do, at times, we disengage ourselves in love relationships, which can cause an emotional negligence of love, which can affect the household, and whatever affects this type of a foundation, the building structure is easily destroyed, cf. Psalms 11:3; therefore, going forward, let us pay more attention to what is going on around us, get emotionally and physically involved with loved ones and others.
Beloved, if at all cost, we are to be fervent in doing anything, let it be to the glory of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, not only to attain his favors but wholeheartedly serve one another expecting nothing in return, he perceives our benevolent works, and surely rewards accordingly: therefore, there is nothing wrong with doing something out kindness to others; such as, checking the mail for the elderly next door neighbor on a snowy day, helping someone with groceries to their car, or to hold up a door for the next person walking up to a building; this little act of kindnesses goes a long ways in the righteousness of Christ: therefore, let us do good in good pleasures! Continue ye in Love! Peace and Love be unto you! Amen and Amen!
