The Narrow Way

I have come to know and experience the incredible love and mercy of our Creator, and it is my hope that through my words, you too may come to know and love Him as I do.

The goodness of God is something that is often talked about, but what does it truly mean? To me, the goodness of God is the expression of His unfailing love, kindness, and mercy towards us, even when we don’t deserve it. It is His unchanging nature, His faithfulness, and His willingness to go to great lengths to draw us closer to Himself.

In Psalm 34:8, we read: “Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.” This verse reminds us that the goodness of God is not just something we talk about or read about, but it is something we can experience for ourselves. We can taste and see that the Lord is good when we open our hearts to Him and allow Him to work in our lives.

Throughout the Bible, we see countless examples of God’s goodness towards His people. We see it in the story of Joseph, who was sold into slavery by his own brothers, but who God raised up to be second in command in Egypt, saving his family and his people from famine.

But the ultimate expression of God’s goodness is found in Jesus Christ. In John 3:16, we read: “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whosoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” This verse tells us that God loved us so much that He was willing to send His own Son to die for us, so that we might be reconciled to Him and have eternal life.

We are called to reflect the goodness of God in our own lives. We are called to love others as He has loved us, to show kindness and mercy to those around us, and to be a shining light in a world that so often feels dark and hopeless.

I encourage you to taste and see the goodness of God for yourselves. Open your hearts to Him, allow Him to work in your life, and trust in His unfailing love and mercy. May we all be transformed by the goodness of God, and may we reflect that goodness to those around us.
