A thought for troubled times

"Most people are good. Most people kiss their pets goodbye and read just ‘one more’ bedtime story to their children. Most people visit their grandparents even when they have no time and stop by to check on quiet friends, after a long day. Most people give money when money is scarce and most people worry about people they don’t even know, day in and day out. When the world seems bad, remember, most people are good."

In all the history of the world, there has only been one who was good.

And He was murdered for his troubles...

Desiring God is good, no?

Yes, desiring God is a good impulse, but desiring God doesn't make us good.
