Choosing to See Goodness

Reflections for contemplative living

Some people in our lives only seem to see the good in us. They trust and respect us, even when we ourselves may not feel we deserve it.

Take my husband, who is my biggest cheerleader.  He always sees me as perfect despite my shortcomings.  He brings out the best in me because I’m treated with love and respect.

Each of us can be like my husband by focusing on the good in other people. We can use our spiritual eyes to see love, honesty, trustworthiness, and unselfishness in the heart of another. As we look for the good, we are doing our part to help create it.

Do I see the good in those around me right now?

Thank you, Lord, for letting Your goodness shine through us to others.
