"Our Lord would have the soul turned truly unto the beholding of Him, and generally of all His works. For they are full good; and all His doings are easy and sweet, and to great ease bringing the soul that is turned from the beholding of the blind Deeming of man unto the fair sweet Deeming of our Lord God."
Julian of Norwich (Ch. 11)
We see ourselves as good or evil,and we see our deeds as good or evil. But God made us fully good and works in everything and everyone in a fully good way. When He sees us and our doings, He deems us innocent children. And when He sees our deeds and our situations, He only sees the good He is doing within our deeds and situations. So instead of looking at ourselves and our behavior with judgment, let us look at God and His behavior and be at rest, for He is only good and does only good, and He only sees good in us and only does good in our lives. He is fully and totally and wholly good, and all His works are gentle and sweet. God is love, and love simply 'thinks no evil,' meaning that He thinks no evil of us! He isn't judging or 'deeming' us evil because of our actions or harshly condemning us for any failure; all His 'deemings' are beautiful and good, and He 'deems' us lovable, innocent, pure, worthy of love, very good, and precious children that belong with Him! After all, He is our dear Father, not our judge. So let's forget our human judgments of things, including ourselves, and hear the Spirit's whisper reminding us that God is always our good and dear Father we are always God's good and dear children.
"For the Holy Spirit makes God's fatherhood real to us as He whispers into our innermost being, 'You are God's beloved child!'"
Romans 8:16 (TPT)
A Prayer: Father, thank You for being so good and seeing good in me; remind me who I am to You!
