Called to Goodness

God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.

Genesis 1:31

You’re often tempted to believe that life is not good when bad things happen, and that God is not good when He allows what you think He shouldn’t. But all that He has created is good, and all that He allows is not without purpose. And yes, He allows evil, for greater purposes that far surpass your understanding. One day you will understand all things as I do, but until then, God has given you a measure of faith to trust that He will not fail you and I will not abandon you.

When you are overwhelmed by all that is wrong in the world, remember that God is good and that He’s promised you that ALL things work together for good. When you are overcome by the sadness and emptiness within you, remember that I bring the dead to life. It’s My power that changes everything in a moment, and every single minute creates an opportunity for God’s miracles. You are not defined by your mistakes, and God does not withhold His grace from you according to the amount of your faith.

Take God at His Word—goodness and mercy are going to follow you all the days of your life. I am good, I am within you, every single moment of every single day. Within each breath, you are consumed with Mine.

Called to Truth

The Lord is good to all; he has compassion on all he has made.

Psalm 145:9
