Goodness & Obedience

I saw “I Can Only Imagine” today. It was great. It’s such a great story of redemption.

When I was driving home, I started thinking about how I have lost sight of God’s goodness – for me. It’s gone.

I need to see it again. I need to believe that His heart for me is still good and that He will bring goodness to me too. Yes, I get the trust thing. I get praise and thanksgiving. At some point, I need to see it too.

It seems harder to obey out of obligation rather than love. This makes things a lot clearer on why I give God a hard time on doing what He asks. I have not believed He has goodness for me, given all the crap that has gone on in my life.

God, show me the TRUTH about Your goodness towards me.

This word came today…

Hi John!

THANK YOU FOR THIS : )
So encouraging, yes… I feel like seeds that have been under ground for a long time are bursting forth and I’m starting to see things blossom.  Thank you for that picture!
I see the banner over you is HOPE… you have fought the GOOD FIGHT and will be overwhelmed by the GOODNESS of God in your life. More than you can ask, think or imagine.
Bless you massive,
