When we reach out with good will
Defensiveness will then be “still”,
For good will is a soothing balm
And causes others to be calm.
Good will has a gentle touch
Which can heal and redeem much.
It bridges over brokenness
And warmly promotes openness.
It is like a pleasant breeze
Which causes all to be at ease.
When we choose to show good will
We’ll find it conquers many-an-ill.
“There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? Lord, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.”
Psalm 4:6 KJV
“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.”
Matthew 5:16 KJV
