"God is all that is good, as to my sight, and the goodness that each thing hath, it is He."
Julian of Norwich (Ch. 8)
It's such a relief to know that God is good, and that God is ALL good. All that is good in this world is from God. Every single thing and person He made has an essential goodness. And that goodness that we each have as persons who are made very good by God, that goodness that we inherently have is from God, and actually IS God. There is a core inner self that is good with God's goodness, that is full of God and made of God's substance, that is grounded in God, that is preserved pure and good always by God. We aren't evil or bad natured. We never were and never will be. We bear the image of the good God and are therefore good, too. We are grounded in this good God our Creator, who is the goodness in us all!
"Everything God made is good."
1 Timothy 4:4 (TLB)
A Prayer: Thank You for making me inherently good with Your goodness in me!
everything God made is good
