GOD'S GOODNESS

Is God good? Is God good to me? I've had this discussion so many times and with so many people. Its something that many many believers ask, deep down in their hearts. How can a child be sexually abused and God still be good to them? How can we loose our 4th job and God still be good to us? Those questions are there, nagging at our hearts until we face them. I believe that the Word tells us, and I have discovered, that if we come to God with these questions then he will give us the answer. But sometimes we have to wrestle with it and with him for a while. Sometimes we have to open our hearts up deep and let the fears and doubts out so that they can be proven wrong. But its more than just proof. Its God. Its so big that its beyond proof. And we have to put it honestly out there so God can show us, like he showed Job, and everybody else who has ever asked, that he is a good God and that he loves us.
