Goodness! Something we all look for. We all are looking for good things for ourselves, regardless on how we define it. The drug dealer is looking for his own good. The thief steals because he thinks it will do him good. The promiscuous girl have sex with different people because she thinks it will do her good. The adulterer cheats because he thinks he will find satisfaction. Some people help others because it bring them satisfaction. Everything everyone of us do in life is in search of satisfaction, in search some perceived good .
We all are in search of goodness in our lives. This life is tough, miserable with rare moments of goodness. Have ever met someone who is pleasant, kind etc..? Man, how much do we want to stay around that person, spend hours with him/her. Being around such a persom evoke all kinds of good feeling from us, make our hearts melt with pleasant feelings and temporarily uplift us from the despair and miseries of this world. Everyone loves to be around such a person and you never want to lose such a one .
God is such a person. The Lord is good! The more my friendship with Jesus grows, the more pleasant He is to me. The Lord is good. I have never met someone as pleasant as God. God never has mood changes. God will never betray you. God never rejects the one who comes to Him. God knows all my flaws and still loves me. God is patient with me. God is tender with me. God has made me strong. When I make mistakes, the Lord still accepts me when I come to Him. Spending time with God daily has made me wiser.
Spending time with God is the sweetest thing in the world . The closer you get to the Lord, the more you will feel the abiding presence of His Holy Spirit within your own soul, conforting us. The Lord is good! I have never met someone like the Lord before, who truly desires my good and does everything to make my life a blessing. The Lord is good! The Lord is beautiful , lovely. How can anyone not love the Lord is a mystery to me 🤷🏾♂️.
The Lord is good, there is no greater love than God's love, no greater goodness than in the Lord.
We all may think different things will bring goodness to our lives but in truth only a relationship with God will bring true goodness. Many things we thought would bring us goodness end up bringing more misery to our lives. But with the Lord we will experience increasing goodness. Goodness for now and everlasting goodness in the life to come. The Lord is good ! How can i not praise Him, how can I not glory Him and magnify His name upon the earth ? The Lord is good! To know God is to experience goodness and true love. Seek the Lord, for He is good!
