In the last posting I began talking about five Godly Qualities, integrity, honesty, generosity, joyfulness, and teachability. I spoke on the first two and left you to think about generosity. Generosity is defined as gracious, unselfish; ample (ample is sufficient to meet ones needs), as defined in Part 1. Generosity can be displayed by giving someone money or even giving your time. In the Bible there are many scriptures that show us it is better to give than to receive.
Joyfulness is the fourth in this list. I know a lot of people might be wondering how joyfulness is considered a Godly Quality. John 10:10 lets us know “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” Why would God want us to have an abundant life, but not have any joy? Joyfulness goes hand and hand with an abundant life, with a life of destiny. The last of these qualities is teachability. Teachability is very important in every aspect of your life. Despite what you may believe you do not know everything. Smile! So even in discovering your destiny you must remain teachable. The person who gets the most out of life is the person who is both willing to teach others and to continue to learn from those around them.
These are not meant to stand as the “only” list of Godly qualities. These are just a few that I think are important to learn as early as possible. They are a good place to start that will also help you begin to prepare yourself for life as a whole, because in all areas of life you will see these qualities. Begin to pay attention to your daily life and be sure that you are incorporating these into your daily routine you will begin to see a difference.
