It’s Saturday And God Is Good
In light of the horror that is taking place in Haiti and in lots of our personal lives I thought I would take this low stat Saturday and ask anyone who stops by one question.
God is good in your life because…

RAIN IT DOWN
He didn’t let me die when I was in the lowest part of my addiction and gave me a second chance at life.
Wow.
i am loved……
Yes you are.
God is good in my life because He got me through my first full week of student teaching… 107 fifth graders, 24 third and fourth graders…with the amount of Excedrin taken less than five.
Now that is amazing.
Lacey student teaching days were my dark days too! I hope it gets easier!
God is good in my life because he ran towards this prodigal, swept him up in a great big bear hug and welcomed him back with unfathomable grace and mercy and endless love.
No matter what the world holds and the highs and lows – God Is… and always will be.
God Is…Always Will…
That sounds like it should be a song.
God has given us an opportunity to move to Atlanta! He will provide the means for us to physically move there and He will provide a house for us!
Woohoo!!!!
Where in the ATL are you moving?
I have two part time jobs, I’ve been given a wonderful opportunity to minister to the teen girls in my city, I have a family who loves me, and my daddy still leaves the porch light on for me when I have to work late.
I’m one blessed girl.
Count them. It sounds like you have many.
This time last year I couldn’t hold down any job that required more than 10 hours a week. God has helped me so much this past year.
AWEOSME!!!!
Awesome doesn’t even begin to describe.
because HE IS not because of what He does. My trust is not in the good things I see and feel, because those aren’t always apparent, but in the truth that He is good in his nature.
That’ll preach
He has made me realized that “it is not about me”
It is all about something so much greater
Amen 1000 times
The Cross
So often the most overlooked aspect of our faith…yet the center of it.
God is good because He says he is – whether I “feel” it or not, He’s good!
And in those moments when we dont FEEL…
It’s sooo hard.
But so true
It is so very hard. But, I thank Him everyday that my feelings don’t change the facts. If they did, I’d be in a world of hurt. The facts are what spur on hope.
No matter how difficult things get, He’s always in control. Nothing surprises Him and His love for me gives me confidence to trust His wisdom.
That’s why God is good.
Our view of our circumstances are so limited my our own humanity
I fell in love with my husband all over again this week.
That;s the stuff right there.
Colossians 1:13-14 For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
I can’t say it better than that.
Amen. Thank God for that.
I’m with Jason. God is good because He brought me into recovery and back into His open arms. That unconditional L.O.V.E.!!
Still proud of you Shellie!!!
He cured me of cigarettes, booze and sugar. And He’s curing me of other insidious things, often against my efforts to frustrate him.
Lord. Tell me about the sugar!!!
…because He is in my life!
Amen. That is all we need huh
God is good because I don’t have to impress him. Random, anonymous, little me is good enough.
It’s more than good enough. Random is what He desires
He loves me always and forever…no matter what.
Amen.
God is good in my life because He Is involved in my life and He is Faithful beyond all others!
Faithful. How often we forget!
God is good in my life because His Word provides daily security and encouragement.
If I would only read daily…
Because He saw fit to give me breath this morning to live this day….
Wow. Awesome
He is good because in spite of the complete wreck that I am, He lets me partner with Him as a “steward of the mystery.” Unbelievable.
He is good because He is there when I am low and when I am happy. God is good by giving me a husband that has a position which allows me to be at home supporting him and the children – we don’t have everything we want, but we have everything we need. God is good because He didn’t answer the prayer for what I thought I wanted – children born to me – but he did answer the prayer for me to have two beautiful children through adoption (birth-related, adopted two years apart).
Because he is grace-filled and welcomes me as one of his children, even when I feel like I am riddled with sin or overcome with doubt.
He loves me in spite of me…and He sees the good in me even when I don’t see it in myself and He corrects the bad when He knows I need to fix it…He knows I want to do things for His Kingdom and has been slowly (IN HIS TIME) allowing the people I need to fall into my life to make things happen.
I have seen His goodness this year as he’s allowed me to move to be a part of a church plant. He’s made this new body of believers, new city and new state home.
he has taught me that its not okay to be a ragamuffin but that he came for ragamuffins just like me. i no longer “try” to be Christlike under the weight of religious rules… i just “am” more Christlike under the easy yoke of grace….
God is GOOD in my life because I am taken care of. Despite debt, despite job changes, struggles, tears, broken down cars, etc., I have food in my mouth and a place to live and a great husband by my side. Jesus is the greatest attitude adjustment.
because he never leaves or gives up on me, like friends will and have.
God is good because He delights in me….and He’ll go back to Africa with me in His timing.
I’ve successfully been married for two weeks, am learning to budget money, and am realizing this “becoming an adult” thing isn’t all that bad… (all the time, at least).
Reading the comments to today’s post has made me smile for the first time today…it’s been a rough past few days for me…thanks for reminding me of God’s goodness in all this.
…He keeps me breathing when I’d rather give up.
Alicia – whatever or whoever has you feeling like that, know that I’m praying for you right now.
1. Because He is good, and loving and faithful
2. Because He blessed me with a new kidney 6 months ago tomorrow through a friend who showed me Christ’s love in tangible form here on earth.
God is good because that is all He can be.
He has blessed me with health, family, friends and salvation. Even on my worst days He hovers over me and whispers how much He loves me.
So many reasons… seriously, there are SO many ways that He has shown His goodness in my life!!
He loves me when no one else could and takes the time to work through my weeknesses
God is good because I know that as much as my heart is breaking for a friend right now, God’s heart is breaking more and He is able to heal.
Because “he causes everything to work together for the good of those who love him”. Everything.
Because He gives me His love and His life and opportunities to use them.
He gives rest for the weary. I’ve been weary lately. But He’s given me the opportunity to pull close and rest for a while.
Needed.
But not deserved.
Thanks!
if you read this you’ll see that it’s a miracle i’m still alive…http://bit.ly/4IaOeR
God apparently has a plan for me because the devil has been trying to take me out since the day i was born…but i keep getting back up…
I’m so amazed to read this, because I have thought the same thing about myself.
wow..!
Because he loves me just like I am, but cares enough to guide and refine me to be better.
God is good because he is compassionate and slow to anger and his lovingkindness is to all generations.
It took me into adulthood to actively follow Christ and God never scolded me or said, “well, it’s about time!” He sanctified and sent me – ME – to be an ambassador for HIM – wow … AND, bonus – I get to be the Mom to 3 beautiful blessings, wife to an amazing servant-hearted man and tell others about Jesus. Could it get better?!
God is good because even though i don’t have a job He has fulfilled me with all my need and many more.
God is good because He loves me in spite of me, in spite of my hurt and irritation with Him in the current moments of life. He loves me instead of sending lightening bolts, and for that He’s good!
God is good because He really gets me. He gets us all.
God is good because he keeps me alive!
God is good because He IS. I love Him s much and I don’t understand all this stuff happening in Haiti or with my friend diagnosed with cancer this week, but I trust Him because He is good.
he is continually molding me into the the amazing vessel he has designed me to be
He is giving me a chance to chase my passion!
…he’s blessed me with an amazing beautiful wife.
He forgave me for a sin that tore my family apart. Blessed me and let me to being Baptised. After that, He guided me to an amazing woman, blessed me with getting financially stable, placed me in a life saving situation at work, and brought the meaning of what giving and surrender is about. And being more blessed every day.. thanks to his Grace.
My husband and all four children love the Lord! Doesn’t get any better!
God is good…we had $20K worth of water damage to our home during the holidays due to a frozen pipe-house is nearly re-done with new floors,etc. Wife had surgery this last week.I’m going to be making some career moves soon. and i have surgery for a hernia on the 28th…so yeah…God’s been teaching us through all of this…not counting my layoff in 2008.
God has continued to be good in my life because He led me to be ministered to by an orphan – and opened the floodgates so to speak for me to see that what HE is all about is not really what WE are all about – and that “the church” is so so so different from “a church” we attend…
Thank You God!
God is good in my life because… His dreams for me are better than mine.
…because he is so much smarter than I am. I had a water pipe burst at my house while I was at work Monday and the first floor of my house was completely covered with water. My best friend’s boyfriend happened to have a friend who is a plumber and he came over to fix the pipe for the “low low” on Tuesday. Well, Tuesday night I was sitting at home having a “why me moment” when I got a call from the plumber saying thank you for saving his life. While he was at my house fixing my “problem” someone broke into his home. He was certain if he was at home, either him or the burglars would have lost their life! GOD IS AWESOME AND HAS THIS CHESS GAME OF LIFE WORKED OUT WAY BETTER THAN US. That is why God is good in OUR life!
God is good because there is no bottom to the love He has for us. It never runs out…it’s the wonderful, unconditional, always there no matter what kind of love that gets me through even the hardest days. He loves me so much He gave me a wonderful family and a second chance at life to grow and know Him even more!
God is good in my life because He loves me no matter how crazy, irrational or downright irritating I am. And I feel like I’ve been a lot of those things this week alone. But He is there and He is faithful no matter what.
I taught hs Sunday school today for the first time at my new church. I worried over the details, not sure if I had the right lesson, not sure which kids would be there, etc. But I planned a lesson, put all the pieces together and went to bed. I woke up this morning and within moments, He gave me a complete different plan that worked perfectly with the kids who were there – the first lesson would never have even scratched the surface with them. He knew and He was there once again.
He has saved me from myself. From the less confident, hiding, broken self into someone who is free. Someone who can look at himself daily and be more than OK with what God created.
He showers me with love despite who I am.
A thousand million things.
God is good just because.
But especially this past week, he got me through my 1st week of student teaching with 6th and 8th graders!! Love them! I have always been placed in jobs (throughout college) where there are not many professing Christians…which has been GREAT…but I am thankful that the Lord gave me a master teacher who loves Him!! I know that will make a HUGE difference in my experience, because we both see our job as a calling by the Lord. God, you are GOOD!
God is good because he is meeting me amidst my struggles with sexual addictions … and HE still loves me in spite of my filthy sins and rebellious and ungracious heart!!! Now if that doesn’t represent his goodness then I don’t know what would!!! I am learning to love God through this because I feel his love for me in such a big way!
