Day 48: He is So Good to Us


Today was a long day.

It started at 3:47 am, and is now going to end somewhere near midnight. Within these hours, I have spent time thinking about how good the Lord has been to me.

I had planned on writing this blog on how I feel like the Lord is putting servanthood on my heart, but I know that first I need to say this.

He is good to me.

It never gets old; it never fades.

Today, as I was driving to, or home from, work (I can't remember since I've been so tired all day!) I spent a good amount of time reflecting on how blessed I am. God has provided in great ways, and in ways that I never expected or asked for. I find that, so often, I am quick to see what I have asked for that God hasn't given me instead of relishing what He has given to me, which is usually so much better than what I had envisioned for myself.

So, with that, I just wanted this blog to share God's goodness. He is good to us because He loves us, created us, and delights in us.

When I was in Haiti, a great man of God, and dear friend, Jeff Hartley asked me to sing a song I thought I hadn't heard before. But, when he played it for me, memories came flooding back. I knew this song from so long ago, and it brought me to my knees all over again.

So I wanted to end this blog with that song. It's called “You Are So Good to Me.”

More than anything, listen to the words. This song is more than beautiful words strung together over a melody; it is God's truth for us to hear.

YOU ARE SO GOOD TO ME:


In Christ,



Lilia
