In a time where life has become topsy

In a time where life has become topsy turvy—where things are confusing and disordered, evil and wrong seem right, and where things seem so upside down.

In a time where life has become topsy turvy—where things are confusing and disordered, evil and wrong seem right, and where things seem so upside down. We need to revisit God’s goodness and God in our lives. Goodness is the quality of being morally good or virtuous. It is knowing and understanding right from wrong. It is the firm and persistent resistance of all moral evil and chooses to follow in God’s ways and understanding. For God’s ways are always good The goodness of God refers to His benevolent and positive attributes, encompassing everything He is, does, or will ever do. It includes many things: His love, mercy, justice, grace, forgiveness, and the overall impact He has on all things. God’s goodness comes through God’s actions and character because God is righteous, holy, and benevolent. This implies that God is the ultimate standard of goodness and that all His ways are worthy. God wants us to strive to be good people. So, when someone is rude, respond in kindness. When someone is hateful, respond in love. When someone wants to do wrong, respond in strength and virtue. When someone is mean, respond in forgiveness. When others are following society’s ways, respond in God’s ways. Be a follower of God not society. It is something to think about. God Bless. Amen.
