Live Everyday in God's Goodness

God's goodness is the basis for everything that exists in this world — including you! It's important to remember that God created everything for his own pleasure (Isaiah 43:7). He made you because he wanted you to be a part of his creation — not because there was something wrong with him or something wrong with his world that needed fixing. God wants you to know that he loves you just as much as he loves anyone else in his creation: "The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love" (Psalm 145:8).

Because God is so good, we can trust him when he tells us how to live our lives and how to deal with the problems we face daily (1 John 5:14). We don't have to worry about doing anything wrong, because we know God will always do what's right!
