It is never right to do wrong. Sometimes I find in my own life that I do not always heed this truth. Justifying wrong is never right, and under no circumstance will the Lord's will be doing something that is wrong. I have been told this over and over again, and I heed it when it comes to things that I absolutely know are wrong. But sometimes our judgement is not so sharp, and we feel that we must do something in order to please others. Still it is not right though. The Lord will always bless His children when they do what is right and good. Doing right may not always be easy, but in the end happiness will follow. Doing wrong many times is easier, but in the end we feel bad about ourselves. We know that we have let the Lord down when we participate in sin. I just want to say that the Lord is good. He has been so good to me. I do not deserve for Him to be so good and so kind to me. I fail Him so often yet He always loves me the same. As Breakin Ground's song says, "So even when I'm at my worst, He sees me as His best."
