“I find joy in everyday life, not because life is good, but because God is.”

The LORD is good. We are not, but as He gives us Himself, we get goodness. Therefore, we can now do good, which we could never do before, let alone do enough “good” to earn a space in heaven or to get on His good side.

His goodness is part of what makes us want to keep talking with Him (1 Thess. 5:17). We come away feeling good through being in the presence of goodness, God Himself, so why leave it?

I pray that His goodness shines through you today, my friends, so that those around you will see the goodness of God and want Him in their live as He is in yours.
