9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. 10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers. Galatians 6:9-10
I found out some frustrating news this week in my work, which really made me disappointed, mainly due to the last 11 months spent on this project. I also found that through this process there were some individuals sharing things about this project that were untrue which made other individuals downplay the importance, need and viability of the project. It made me begin to reflect over my years of service in my job on how many good things I have done. It made me think on how I have treated individuals with respect to their humanity and even common courtesy. I have reflected on how I have managed, supervised and interacted with people every day. I am not to judge my own ways of doing good, for there is only one judge, but I can say that I have never undermined anyone to get something I wanted, which you would think after 20 years someone wouldn't do the reverse to me. But individuals are not perfect, they make mistakes and they are sometimes guided by the enemy for their own personal gains. It just put a rubber stamp on how I should be treating people around me, and that is with full respect and goodness. Why goodness? Because goodness comes from our God, and He has commanded us to do Good to all people. We can lose sight of this at times, but I know that there is forgiveness, there is a path forward, and we just need to make sure we are on the right one.
Have a great weekend.
Matt
