Titus
Paul said that God brought us salvation that gives us the ability to have self-control, to live godly lives while we wait for the return of Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to purify for himself a people that are eager to do what is good (Titus 2:11-14). I read that, and it sounded great, but am I eager to do good? Not all the time! Sometimes it is such a chore. Why do we always have to put others ahead of ourselves?
In the end, it is more rewarding to do good. Proverbs has tried to teach us that over and over again. I think the desire has to be consciously cultivated, though. So that's something I'll be praying about - being eager to do good!
