GOD’S GOODNESS :

Scripture

Exodus 34:6 (NKJV)

“The Lord, the Lord God, merciful and gracious, long-suffering, and abounding in goodness and truth.”

Reflection

As we embark on this journey to explore the goodness of God, let us open our hearts to the profound truth of His nature. Picture a gentle river flowing abundantly, its waters alive with vitality, nourishing everything that comes to its shores. This river symbolizes God’s goodness—ever-present, overflowing, and transformative. Just as a river cannot exist without nurturing life, so too is God’s goodness deeply woven into the fabric of His being.

Throughout our lives, we may encounter storms that challenge our faith and trials that test our spirit. Yet, even in darkness, God’s goodness is interwoven, offering us courage, hope, and divine love. His intentions for us are rooted in this goodness; He desires us to persevere, flourish, and find wholeness. As we reflect on His character, we are reminded that He engages with us through His unending grace and mercy.

In this month of June, let us anticipate witnessing the manifestations of God’s goodness in our lives. He yearns to fill us with His love and to teach us how to extend that goodness to others. As we embrace this truth, may we find comfort and joy in knowing that God’s will is intricately connected to our peace and fulfillment.

Imagine stepping into a warm, sunlit meadow, where wildflowers bloom in a riot of colors, dancing gently in the soft breeze. Here, enveloped by God’s presence, you find a deep sense of calm and joy.
