THE GOODNESS OF GOD I heard a song as if for the first time though I have sang along to it numerous times. The lyrics came alive to me word for word and I stopped singing to just listen. I listened in complete amazement as I thought about the grace I was afforded that I didn't deserve. "If it had not been for the goodness of the Lord, I would be dead within my sins forever longing to be free." I would literally be dead in my sins. When I was not searching for Him, He had me on His mind. He knew His plans for my life and no matter how much of a mess I was, it didn't cause Him to turn. He does not change. He chased after me. The extent of God's goodness jumped out at me as the song played. When I was at my worst doing things I shouldn't have been doing, He spared me from the consequences. He is love! He really does love us regardless of what state we are in because that is who He is. It has nothing to do with us. Now I can say that God is someone who I can depend to walk a path that sometimes bends. Blessed and praised be Our Lord Jesus Christ! 🙏
