For I AM good

“Remember my goodness,” He said. I was taking a walk, ruminating and reflecting when He said this to me. “Okay,” I responded. I tried to but nothing was coming to mind so I said to Him, “I’m drawing a blank. Please remind me.” And remind me He did. He immediately drew me to a park I used to go to often. I remembered a season where I would sit there with Him, pouring my heart out, listening for His voice and being filled every single time.

He took me on a journey in my mind. I remembered moments in my life, big and small, when he showed up again and again. He made promises that He fulfilled. That was about a year ago. This morning, He reminded me of His goodness again through song. This time, no specific place or moments were on my mind but I found myself reflecting on how faithful, kind, good and full of grace God is. He is tender hearted. He is close to the broken hearted and sorrowful. He rejoices with those who rejoice. He loves with a deep, abiding love.

He delights in His children and is a proud Father. I say He shows up to express how he meets our needs in a way only He can; never too late but never too early, never too little but always fully and abundantly, always perfectly and in perfect love! Yet showing up doesn’t fully capture what He does for He’s always there with us. I take comfort and I delight in this – being known completely, accepted unconditionally, and cared for diligently and lovingly all day, every day. I’m in awe.

What good things has God done for you? How has He shown up in your life or your world? Have you reflected on His character, actions or Word lately? I invite you to do so, again and again. Taste and see that the Lord is good!

Love,
