Even in our darkest moments, God is good.  We cannot change His character by what we do or by what comes into our lives. Our trials and tests have no bearing on His goodness.  In the midst of suffering, He is good.  In the midst of loss, He is good.  In the midst of struggles and temptations, He is good. At every moment of every day, He is good.  I am not deserving of His goodness, yet He is still good to me.

Almost every day the Lord shares with me something He wants me to write down.  I have come accustomed to writing what He says, and this poem is an explanation of how that works. I pray that perhaps this will help you to listen a  little more closely for the voice of God.

I often wonder how far down the road I would be if I would just stop following my own path and follow His instead.  How much more could He have used me?  How many more souls would have been reached if I could just out myself aside and follow Him?  I have a long way to go!

In Psalm 91:15b, God promise3s that He will be with me.  This promise comes as a result of Psalm 14a, which says because he has put His love upon me. When we accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of our lives, he puts His love upon us and will be with us ion any type of situation, good or bad, that we face.  This short poem shows us His heart and how he wants us to always remember that He is with us.

All of us try to keep a running record of the time we spend with God.  But have you ever given thought to how much time He spends with you?  This free verse poem visits that question In many different areas of our lives.  I hope it inspires you to take more time for Him.

We look at trials and troubles and start to run away, thinking they will harm us or destroy us.  But God looks at them and sees what he can do through them to make us more like Him.  he uses every trial to help us grow and become more in His image.  We should never shrug the trials that come into our life.  We should embrace them and face them with joy (James 1:2).  He will turn all things for our good!
