Several times in the past month I have experienced moments where my heart was overwhelmed with the goodness of God. The words "God is good" seemed too cheap to adequately express the gratitude and wonder I felt. Yet I did not know any other words to express the depths of my heart. Something, somewhere from deep within my spirit deeply longed to touch the heart of God and thank Him for His goodness to me.
I am discovering that we truly were created to experience abundant life. I am also discovering that the abundant life only comes as we follow Jesus, heeding the desires that He places in our hearts.
While following Jesus frequently pits us against seemingly insurmountable obstacles, as we persevere and conquer the obstacles, we discover the Father smiling on us. There were times in the life of Jesus when the veil between heaven and earth was shattered by the affirmation of the Father. The same is true in our life as well. In that affirmation, our hearts readily respond with worship and gratitude.
My prayer for you is that you can discover the goodness of God as I have experienced it. The words "God is good" is not some trite phrase to me. It is experiential reality.
