God, You'Re Good

GOD, YOU'RE GOOD

God, You are just so good in all ways.
Everywhere I look I am reminded of Your goodness.
Your majesty speaks to me from the lofty mountain peaks.
Your mighty power merely hinted at in the surging waves of the ocean.
Your loving kindness and forgiveness expressed ever so minutely in the warmth of a 
mother's arms.
I look up and see the clouds drifting across the face of the silver moon and think no artist 
ever painted such a mystical scene.
I see the forest in the early morning mist and think how magical a place this is.
I see the roses kissed by morning's dew and think no human could create such beauty.
I have watched my own belly move as the chilld within me grew strong and marvelled at the magic You had created within me.
All my life I have been surrounded by Your abundant blessings.
You have proven Yourself over and over again.
How can Mankind be so foolish as to doubt You?
I am amazed by Your goodness, Your power, Your patience and Your mercy.
I stand in awe of You.
Lord, when You return,
Remember me.

Yes, God is so good. The end is more like a prayer, right now I'm praying it too. I like this part; Your loving kindness and forgiveness expressed ever so minutely in the warmth of a mother's arm. Beautiful write, God bless Judy.

Thank you so much Ingibo. I'm glad you like this little prayer of praise and gratitude. I know I am not worthy on my own of His goodness but through christ I am made worthy, we all are. God Bless, JB
