behold the goodness

Joni Overton-Jung

why call me good?
there is one good
and that is God¹

o dear God
what relief

there is but one good
and that is God

enough
trying
to be good

o good God
inescapable
good
great goodness
of God

cannot flee
this goodness

cannot exit
this goodness

behold the goodness
everywhere
bottomless
boundless
goodness

breaking forth
teeming
bursting
at the seams
spilling over
goodness

behold your real life (such goodness)
in Her divine
goodness

We'd love to hear from you!
