God is good

Judy Wolff

What do you love most about God? If I had to pick one thing, it would be that God is good. Maybe this is what I love most about God, because I really know it is true. Many times, God has helped me and shown me that He is good. For example, I have been healed of colds, allergies, warts, and food poisoning by realizing that none of these things are good and therefore they are not from God. Since God is good, and God is all powerful, then God’s goodness is power. Goodness, or the presence of God, is the power that makes everything good.

When I say, “I feel good,” what I’m really saying is that I feel God with me. God gives me joy, health, and love. These things are all good and they make me feel close to God—and that really does feel good!

But when I say, “I don’t feel good,” actually what I am saying is that I don’t feel God—that He doesn’t seem close. So when I don’t feel good, the solution is to understand God better and feel God’s presence.
