Despite


What is popular belief:

Good work ain't cheap....
And
Cheap work ain't good....

I've always followed this belief.
My dad has always told us to never give up:
Bite the bullet:
Give Your best:

And I try.

As a result: I've been pro Apple for quite a while:
A company, to me, who ALWAYS does their work with excellence. My phone is an iPhone. My laptop is a Mac. 
I have been drawn to invest in that which performs at its best and even to purchase such things I have had to become more disciplined in saving: and while seeming like a small feet, i see it unbelievably inspirational to purchase such items without any debt to have afterward.

I think that is what "Good" does:
Simply in its presence, even if not doing "Good" Yourself....it requires You to move up in what You do....

And in relationships this has been so important, so important that for a while I was very superficial about it. 

If we were going to date....You needed to be at Your best....

Over weight: Nope
Problems with Your family: Nope
Issues with God: maybe

As though if I thought that somehow I obtained a level of greatness above them. 

I soon realized that I was no one. And so many people, especially the ones I dated, helped me to become a better person.....i didn't do it alone....and even if I did....I'm no one that my life shouldn't be the same.....

So superficial relationship Rome: taken care of and removed.

But still so far from "Good"

I learned to accept what everyone else did....

Despite what I knew to be GOOD

So I listened:
This is how You treat girls
This is how You hurt those who hurt You
This is how You get out of a contract agreement
This is how You pay less
This is how You make alot of money 
This is what makes a -good- life.....

I listened to some....and came so close to following some....while occasionally obeying others.

I could hear GOOD inside though

I could hear GOOD 
telling me how to treat a Lady
Telling me when to wake up
Telling me how to love someone
Telling me how to love friends
Telling me not to eat something
Showing me what to say....

And I hear GOOD

For I haven't been given up on.
There is still Grace shown to me
And It's time to do GOOD

my average is more than enough to pass by....even to excel in life above others....but it's not close to what I know is GOOD...

So ima do GOOD

And You'll see GOOD

and the world will be different because of it....

I would encourage You to do GOOD 
If You are then You should have this abundant Peace
And Your life should Give GOOD to everyone who You are in contact with....

In case my analogy/metaphor is not clear: God is the source of this GOOD which I speak. And I hear Him constantly....even with things that should not traditionally have anything to do with God....simply because God is ever present....and learning to be conscious of that and loving Him by obeying Him.....

Something GOOD
Begins to happen....
And like a sunrise
A baby's birth
A song done correctly
Or an act of Love....

Everyone sees it and everyone is changed

Despite us all.


P.s: in this GOOD I'm goin to try and post everyday. And for everyone that reads, You shouldn't be the same.i wish I could say for the better but we will see ;)
