The Goodness of God

On a Wednesday night a while back, my friend and I led worship at our church. She’d picked a song I didn’t know very well, “The Goodness of God”. As we practiced before service, I was caught up in this song, with almost a vibration humming in my spirit. Don’t you just love when Holy Spirit quickens His Word in you?

All week that song kept weaving through me. Every single day! I love songs and I’m always singing. But y’all! The same song? For six straight days?

“All my life You have been faithful” wound through me in everything I did. At night as I went to sleep the words, “and all my life You have been so, so good,” resonated within my heart and filled me with gratitude.

I finally asked God why this song had grabbed me like that. He told me,

“It’s your testimony. It’s ingrained into every fiber of your being. I have proven to you over and over that I am faithful! I will never leave. I am always there to provide, comfort, and deliver. I AM GOOD!”

And it’s your testimony too–no matter what the enemy of your soul says or the lies he uses to distract and take away from God’s goodness in your life.

The TRUTH is—God is faithful to you. You can always, always depend on His love, His forgiveness, His salvation, His guidance and wisdom, His healing of your broken heart, and His comfort.

He, alone, is someone who is one hundred percent faithful to His promises to you.

I’m pretty certain that some of you think you are not musical and can’t sing, but I don’t believe it. Why? Because we are made in God’s image and He is musical. It’s been said that music is the expression of our emotions. Your spirit—His spirit in you—sings! Find a praise channel on the radio and fill up with the songs you hear!

I want to speak these words of life into you:

I pray that His words, His music, settle into your soul. That as you rise in the morning there will be a song of praise on your lips, and as you lay down at night there will be a song of gratitude in your heart.
Amen.

May you be filled with God’s goodness in the days ahead!

Love and hugs, Passionista Mimi

These are my stories—my life. I try to write honestly, raw, and from my heart. I try to tell all the parts—the good, the hard, the tough, the hopeful, and the emotional. But most importantly, I am here to be found by you. I am open-hearted, and I won’t hide. When I share my story, my words, and my experiences you may see yourself in them. I make myself vulnerable, hoping that you might learn and heal. We all need healing. The world can be cruel. Sometimes life can break us. But there is joy and hope to be found. I pray that I may lead you to the One who can give them to us. So, who am I? *I’m an educator at heart–it’s in my blood. *I’m a highly emotional person–I identify that as “passion”. *I’m a late-life mom to two amazing and beautiful (adopted) children who have physical, mental, and psychological differences from “typical” children. *I’ve lived a lot. I’ve learned a lot. And I’ve healed a lot. I hope you will join me in my quest to live for God, to live fully, and to spread truth!
