“The Holy Spirit Helps Me Choose What Is Good”

📖 “Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.”
—Romans 12:21 (NKJV)


Goodness is more than being “nice.” It’s choosing what is right, true, honorable, and pleasing to God—especially when it’s difficult. You face choices every day: to be honest or to hide the truth, to encourage or to tear down, to speak life or to gossip, to help someone or to look the other way, to take the high road or to get even.

Doing what is good often goes against your emotions, your habits, or the pressure from people around you. That’s why you need the Holy Spirit.

He gives you the strength to do good when it’s easier to compromise.
He helps you see what is right when situations feel confusing.
He shapes your character so goodness becomes your natural response.
He reminds you of God’s Word when you face temptation.
He convicts your heart when something is wrong.
He gives you courage to stand for what is good even if you stand alone.

Goodness is not something you manufacture—it is something the Spirit produces.

When you choose what is good, you are reflecting Jesus Himself, who consistently responded with truth, purity, and compassion. And in a world full of darkness,
your goodness shines like light.


Talk About It:

  • What good choice do you need courage to make right now?
  • How can the Holy Spirit help you do what’s right, even when it’s hard?

Prayer:

Holy Spirit, help me choose what is good. Give me courage to do the right thing
and strength to honor You in every situation. Shape my heart so that goodness becomes my natural response. Amen.
