1 Peter 2:21 For God called you to do good, even if it means suffering, just as Christ suffered for you. He is your example, and you must follow in his steps.
We’ve been called to do good. It doesn’t matter what the situation looks like or how we feel, we’ve been called to do good.
If we’ve been instructed to talk to that friend dealing with the same problem we’ve given them the answer to a month ago, do good.
If that means politely talking to that customer who’s being rude, do good.
When our spouse is in the wrong, but God tells us to get them something nice, do good.
We may be ministering to people who call us hypocritical, fake, or lunatics and we want to punch them in the face, but do good.
When our children don’t deserve a thing, but God tells us to get them some ice cream, do good.
Doing good doesn’t always mean the other person deserves it or the situation warrants our goodness. But when we’re called to do good, obey and know that same goodness we’ve given will be given back to us by God.
Ephesians 6:8 knowing that whatever good anyone does, he will receive the same from the Lord, whether he is a slave or free.
