Goodness must be mined

I believe goodness is like a precious metal, to find it within ourselves it takes an enormous amount of effort to dig, locate and uncover it.

That effort, however, is not something to look at as wasteful or cumbersome, rather I see that effort as one of God's greatest blessings where through our own investment in our spiritual journey we are able to discover a part of ourselves that is noble and righteous. It is an honor to walk that path where one can stand on their own merit in confronting my own demons and choosing to seek God's truth.

The fact that it is a struggle should be looked at with such a heart of gratitude, because the alternative is a path of complacency which is not really complacent but rather leads to degradation and an inevitable slide towards the baser elements of human nature.
