Life Is Blessed And Good
Romans 8: 31-39
While celebrating my 40th wedding anniversary with family and friends , I reminded myself of the simple truth that life is blessed and good. I think that each one of us needs to remind ourselves of this simple truth ‘ that life is good ‘.
Sometimes with the work of earning a living, raising a family, maintaining health and fitness and managing relationships start to overwhelm us and stress us, it is then that we need to focus on GOD and realise how small our part in the universe really is.
While we obsess and stress over our work, GOD quietly does HIS work .
God keeps the planets revolving, the earth rotating and the seasons changing without any help from us. God makes the sunrise every morning and set every evening. Without lifting a finger we get to enjoy sunrises and sunsets. Every year the seasons change on schedule. We do not need to pray about it or remind GOD to bring spring. All these remind us that HE is a meticulous and good God. He loves each one of us because HE created us in HIS own image and crowned us with Glory and Honour.
Sure life at times gets difficult and painful but it still is good. We need to constantly remind ourselves that nothing can separate us from the love of GOD.
Hebrews 13.5 “I Will Never Leave You Nor Forsake You,” Says God.
Prayer
Thank You, heavenly Father, for the good gift of life. Forgive me for making it complicated for others and myself. Give me the grace to love others as YOU love me
Help me to find goodness in everything you have created.
I thank You, GOD, for family and friends. I thank you for your immeasurable grace, YOUR inexhaustible mercy and YOUR fathomless peace.
I thank you and praise YOU for my life
Amen.
