My own quote

I was thinking about this yesterday and thought of a good way to phrase it. I don't think this exists anywhere else-I googled it.

 

God is good

no matter what He does,

because it's Who He is.

 

 

 

Background: We've been learning about this in our Bible study about joy and I even caught myself contemplating the concept when we were praying for Michael and how he began to heal right away. I texted "God is good" because of the favorable answer to prayer, but had to remember that He is good even when the outcome does not seem to be what we want. God is good all the time.

 

I was thinking about this how God is good no matter what our circumstances are. That doesn't change Who God is and His goodness. I remember that phrase "God is good" running through my head when I was looking at you, lying lifeless in your hospital bed. I knew it was true but I was trying to put the two concepts together.

 

This is very reassuring to me. People (me included) get mad or confused when what we want to happen and what seems "good" to us doesn't happen or happens to others. Healing doesn't happen, death comes, etc. What happens to us doesn't change Who God is. (Oooh-maybe another quote!) Praise His Holy Name!
