God’s goodness

It’s hard sometimes to see the good.

There’s brokenness and evil everywhere. But the good news is we have a loving and kind God who does not forget you.

He doesn’t leave you behind.

The wonder and glory of God’s goodness lets us see who he is. He’s not a bad guy who strikes down all the evil doers. God is so graceful. He offers more grace than we do. He gives us an abundance of chances.

That can be hard to believe for us humans because we easily stereotype people. He’s a murderer. She’s an adulterer. But guess what Jesus says if you hate someone in your heart that is like murder. If you lust after someone that is just like committing adultry.

Sin is sin. One sin isn’t greater than the other. So we can’t judge. Judgement and comparison will steal your joy.

God is good despite our anger. God is good despite the bad things in the world. God is good. God did not create the bad. The enemy created the bad. HE is jealous of you, of how much God loves you.

The enemy will do the most to attack you and bring you down. But God will always make things work out in the end. Even in tragedy and death, we can trust that we will be okay because God loves us and has made a home for us to live in heaven with him.

God is good.
