Over the past two years, I have been learning to believe that God is good regardless of circumstances, regardless of pain, regardless of misunderstandings. This goes for me but also for other people's narratives. This summary by Beth Moore spoke to me tonight:
Are you ever tempted to think that this whole human thing is rigged? That God formed us with souls that seek well-being yet shuns us when we do what comes naturally?
What if we understood down to the marrow of our bones that His is the only plan that really does end up prospering us? What if we really believed Jesus when He said that those who insist on finding their own lives will lose them and those who lose them for His sake will find them? (Matt 16:25) What if we really believed, that if we seek God's kingdom and His righteousness, everything else of true value would be given to us, too? (Matt 6:33) What if we really believed that “He did not even spare His own Son but offered Him up for us all; how will He not also with Him grant us everything?” (Romans 8:32) What if we really believed that “godliness is profitable for all things, since it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come” (1 Tim 4:8)?
What if we really believed that God is not only great, He is good?
