Goodness

 The 6th Fruit of the Spirit is "Goodness". This word can also be  translated as "Kindness". Simply it is doing that which is "good" to others. Random Acts Of Kindness! Putting others first and doing kind deeds.  Helping others, giving of yourself. Going the extra mile to help someone. Usually that is easy, but what about to people who are not kind to you or who pick on you? The great example of this was Jesus who went to the Cross to die, not just for "good" people, but especially sinful people like us.
   On Palm Sunday many people were welcoming Jesus into Jerusalem and then a week later they cried "Crucify Him, Crucify Him". They were not very kind on that day and yet out of His Goodness and Kindness to us, He endured the Cross to pay the price for our sins. He put our eternity and welfare above His own needs. As we go through these trying times, let's follow Jesus' example and put others before our self.
