21 Days of God's GoodnessUzorak

Goodness and Grace

We have been conditioned to believe that good things come to us only if we are worthy of them. Our minds have been trained toward karma thinking. While it is true that the principle of sowing and reaping is fairly consistent in life, we also need to know that God’s goodness toward us is founded solely upon His grace and not our performance. Even when we are not good, God is and will always be good.

Many times we talk ourselves out of believing that God has something good for us because we are painfully aware of our unworthiness of His goodness. Today’s scripture is a powerful reminder that while none of us are worthy of God’s goodness, we are recipients of His unmerited grace. Titus 3:4-5 says, “…when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of His mercy.”

The powerful reality of God’s goodness based solely upon His grace and not our performance is both mind blowing and life changing. Today, I invite you to receive God’s grace and goodness, not because you deserve it, but because God is good. Take time to meditate on the goodness of God. Bask in His kindness and rejoice in His grace.
