Welcome to my blog!

I'm glad you're here at my little online home...feel free to enjoy any of my rambling thoughts...I have been overwhelmed by God's unconditional love and grace and enjoy writing about what God is teaching me...I have so much to learn so I share as I go! And right now in 2025 I am going through the book A Revelation of Divine Love by medieval mystic Julian of Norwich. God used this book to encourage me so much in my life and I wanted to go through and look at different quotes and themes in the book and write my thoughts about them. If you are not interested in this, feel free to read some of my posts from previous years! Blessings to you and have a great day!

God's Fair, Sweet Deeming

"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!




May the amazing grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the extravagant love of God, and the intimate friendship of the Holy Spirit be with all of you. 2 Co. 13:14
