Good

In this grief process I've sensed the need to be really, really focused on the goodness of God.  Aren't there a lot of messages out there about who God is?  I don't need my hurt heart to write its' own version of who I think God is ... or is not.  What I need is for God to show me who He is.

Wandering a bookstore, noticing that all the "bargain books" were yet an additional 25% off the already low, low price, I prayed.  I prayed that if there was a book I was to read, God would show me.  I saw lots of intriguing titles ... but then my eyes fell on the one I took home as my own.  The title:  90 Days of God's Goodness by Randy Alcorn.

I've read 2 days worth of God's goodness.  Goodness comes out of hardship.  I can trust a loving God to bring me through a crummy event and ... make ... me ... better.  Pretty amazing.  I'm gonna keep reading.  Two days is not long enough to establish a default in my thinking that ... God.is.good.  But, I know I'm on the right road!!!
