Doing good?

Yet again, I have to apologize for my unauthorized absence (UA) from the blog for nearly a month now. I kept telling myself I will blog but the days go by so fast. Please accept my sincere apologies. And I must also thank my encouragers who kept telling me to keep at blogging because they've been blessed/are still blessed by the messages. Thank you for helping me summon the courage to carry on with the ministry.

I must confess, procrastination has been the main reason why you have not read any post on this blog in a while. Although, lots of things have kept me busy lately, I could have created time out of my busy schedule. I kept telling myself that it wasn't that bad since I was obviously doing some other good deeds that God would be proud of. This was supported with the Bible verse that says "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up". Galatians 6:9. But as God would have it, I was preaching to someone last weekend and told him about a prayer my sister mentioned to me "that God should deliver me from the lies I tell myself". Later that day, while checking my Facebook page, I read something interesting which was posted by me months back that "Sometimes doing good keeps us from doing the best". Then it struck me, I have been lying to myself, because sometimes, doing good is not enough especially when you have the ability to do great things.
