Good is kind, and good is fair,
It smiles and settles everywhere.
It keeps you safe, it soothes your pride,
And says, “No need to step outside.”

It whispers, “This is good enough
Why strive for more? Why choose the rough?”
It pats your back and blocks the door
That leads to better, leads to more.

But deep inside, your spirit knows,
That comfort’s not where greatness grows.
The best is born where good lets go
Where faith steps out and courage shows.

For “good” will let your fire sleep,
And dreams once bright will cease to leap.
But “best” will wake the soul within,
And push you past where you have been.

Don’t settle in the comfort zone,
Where average builds its sleepy throne.
There’s purpose waiting up ahead
Where good is gone, and best is led.

So choose the path that few request,
And leave behind what’s good…
For best.

For His Honor and Glory
