In the world we live in, certain words—like goodness—seem to have lost their weight, their depth, their power. Too often, we brush past them, assuming their meaning without reflecting on their essence. But what if goodness was more than a passive trait? What if it was active, powerful, and prophetic? In her latest devotional, Kim Reisman explores how the biblical concept of agathosune, a uniquely Christian understanding of goodness, calls us to live lives of integrity and purpose. It’s a goodness that challenges the complacent and comforts the broken—a goodness that is unmistakably good for something. I hope you’ll take a few moments to read it—and more importantly, reflect on what goodness could look like in your own life. I’m praying that you will live a life so full of Christ’s goodness that others cannot help but be moved—whether to be comforted or to change.
