God is good and I'm not talking about a Sunday morning "God is good" but a eternal, life changing, redemptive giving, pure and unsaturated GOD IS GOOD! He deserve more than a simple statement, He commands a life completely for Him. Some one who is willing to give all for the Almighty one, to say I am nothing and you are everything.... this is a God who is good, but you say how is that good? isn't selfishness bad? Our selfishness is. But we are broken... He is not... We cannot compare ourselves to the everlasting one. In doing so we elevate ourselves and down size God, if He created everything and still decided to die for us, then how can we possibly be on the same level as He is?
Oh to carry the cross as He did is to carry the very weight of grace. To share in His pain is to share in His gain.
He is so beyond us! but yet He desires to be with us, that is a concept void of all logic, but that is only our logic and our logic is temporary.
I am so honored to be in the embrace of my creature, my all!
Cry out for the love of our redeemer, cry out for love, hope and peace, for our God is good and He is deserving of all praise.
Be willing to give all for the one who has already done so.
“God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks to us in our conscience, but shouts in our pains: It is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world” -C.S. Lewis
SUCH a good reminder, the world around us may fail, but the goodness of God stays the same. And I love love love "In Christ Alone".
