“Well, I did my good deed for the day” or worse for the week. Have you ever heard that phrase? Have you ever thought about what that means? It means someone has done something good and now they are free to do things that are not good. They are hoping that that one good deed will outweigh all the bad they have done.

This actually spills over into Christianity. We think when we do something good for God, that it entitles us to be blessed by God. Well, I will do this one thing God and now God owes me something in return. Then nothing happens. They wonder why. They get discouraged and they wonder if God still does the same today. Jesus does, Hebrews 13:8 says that Jesus is the same all the time so Yes Jesus wants to bless you. This can also lead some to wonder if God is really real. Many Christians are there because they do not go to church as much, they do not read the Bible as much, and they don’t pray (talk with God) as much. Why, because it doesn’t seem if God cares that they did a good deed for Him.

The world sees this and goes, see I told you that God is a fairy tale or that God does not care.

God is looking for a relationship with you where He can bless you simply because He wants to because He loves you. When someone goes well, I did my good deed for the day, they are keeping score. They like to tell others and they like to remind God.

Think about that for a moment, do you want God to keep score? Because if you point out your one good deed, how many bad deeds proceeded that, and if you are done with you good deed, are you about to go back to your old bad ways? That kind of is the implication with this statement.

Good wants us to do good because we love Him. And God is not looking for a good deed singular, God is looking for a life that just does good because they are in love with Him.

Too many Christians put God into a business relationship. Trust me, you do not want that. If you were God, would you want to be in business relationship with God? We can’t keep to His standards. We would break the contract all the time.

God does not want to be in business with you, God wants to be in a real loving relationship where we do things out of love just because, and God does things for us out of love just because.

God is looking for a people that will simply start every day falling in love with Him and doing things because of that. When we do that, God will begin each day thinking about how He can do amazing things for you, simply because He loves you and He wants to bless you!

You want revival in your life, in your family, in your church. Stop keeping track of what you do for Him and just live your life showing Jesus you are in love and see if things do not change for the better in your life in radical ways.

That is the life God blesses, and you want Him to bless your life, not your moments. That is where a lot of people fall short of getting all they can from Jesus. They live for the moment; hence I did my good deed for the day (that is moment). Life is forever, moments fade away. Allow God to work on the big picture in your life, a life that is meant to last forever!

Remember Jesus loves you; I love you, and you are awesome!
