God IS Good
Definition of "GOOD": to be desired; righteous, virtuous, excellent, high quality, kind...
God IS good. God IS good. Dwell and ponder on these three very simple words for a brief moment. Do you believe it, really believe it?
Recently (actually just last night) I met up with several friends from college. This was a huge deal since we've been on summer break for about a month now, meaning it's been a while since seeing each other. That night was filled with laughter, joy, hugs, conversation, food, games... Of the many conversations I had God laid out a common point in every single one of them."I AM good. I GIVE good things."
In midst of my own life the last month since starting summer break after finishing my freshman year in college its been like a roller coaster. And I'm not the only one, with friends sharing their life during this point reflecting similar feelings. A friend in particular reminded me in the process of sharing about her summer that , "God is good and everything good comes from Him."
I started to think about that. Of course I "KNEW" it, but did I believe it? It's hard to see the truth that God is good and He gives good things when your life seems like a bowl of chaos and you start talking to friends in depth that you've missed the last few weeks to hear that they have had days or the last weeks less than desirable and far from peachy.
As God started to shift my heart and pull it back into the perspective of Him, I was reminded that my God IS good. He IS good. He IS good. I am underserving of God, I'm underserving of anything good, any of the good gifts from Him. And yet here I stand in a sea, in a field of everything good. Life isn't always rosy. In fact there are some pretty dry spells, hard questions, strained relationships, mixed emotions to say the least. But those things are the rain that fills and makes the power of our sea or waters our field.
I could go on, but I'm sure I've already confused you enough. These are just my thoughts spinning at lightening speed. Pray and seek out what God is trying to reveal to you through this. I'd love to hear back about your thoughts! This is just the truth I felt like God poured on me, and it was time for me to pass it on to you. When things are hard or you feel lonely remember that God IS good and He gives good. That's remarkable because we don't deserve it at all. So to know that we have the chance to grasp God's goodness through Jesus is the first step is seeing the goodness.
We SERVE a mighty and gracious God.

Just another point in the journey and dream.
