The Goodness of God

I used to have a hard time seeing the goodness of God in the trying events of my life and the lives of those around me. I would hold on to the simple fact that I knew God was Good and His Word was true. I walked through those events by faith believing in a goodness that I had not yet seen manifested in my life. It's right that we do that, but walking by faith should lead us to a place of walking in love. God want us to not just be a faithful servant, but a loving friend.
I have taken time to ask God to help me see His goodness, help me really feel His love for me personally. God wants to reveal those things to our spirits. Now when I think over my life or look into the desperate times others may be experiencing, I still struggle at times to walk by faith, but I also see the goodness of God rising like the dawn. His goodness will cover every area of our life, every thought and emotion. His love will sweep over us and overpower every hopeless, negative thought. Who is like our God? Who is mighty to save His people and bring them through by His strength and goodness?
The problem with the world today and most of what we incorrectly call the church, is not the influence and work of evil, but the absence of the good.Who will stand with me and shout out the goodness of our God. Lets be the Kingdom people we were born to be and bring others into God's great love and eternal goodness.
