Have you ever wondered what it is within you that desires to make another person happy? Where does our urge to do good come from?
Whichever part of the world we may be, we can observe how people do things for the benefit of others. We can see it in the way that parents think about what’s best for their children. We can see it in the way friends naturally have that desire to give something good to each other, something that would make the other person smile. We can see it in strangers helping people they have only met.
When we come to think of it, this is our human instinct that calls us to love and to find fulfillment in love. It is this love we have that propels us to work for the good of others, to move for their sake, to find words that heal and encourage the other.
Why are we happy every time we’re able to help another person? Why do we fill satisfied whenever we make another human being smile? The answer to these questions hold the key to who we truly are, human beings created in the very likeness of God who is Infinite Goodness and Love.
