Hello Amazing Reader, 

Trust your week is off to a great start. 

It’s the last week in August. Can you believe it?  Thank God for His goodness and mercies!

Speaking about God’s goodness, do you ever feel unworthy of it? In the past few weeks, I have been struggling with my personal devotion time. I’ve found myself mostly rushing through it. 

I was feeling bad and talking to God about it when He reminded me that He is good. He is not good to me because of what I do or don’t do. He is good to me because it’s His nature to be consistently good. My heart melted. What a Father!

This is not to encourage spiritual laziness or lukewarmness, but a reminder that God’s goodness to us is not earned by our righteousness; Is 64:6. It’s His nature and He can’t help but extend this goodness to us.  He is good in spite of us. Isn’t this worth rejoicing and praising God about? 

Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever. 

Ps 136:1 (NKJV)

Many times, we are looking to receive certain blessings before we appreciate God. But, God’s goodness is a major praise point, worth thanking Him for. 

Ps 150:2b instructs us to,

“...Praise Him according to His excellent greatness!” 

Praising God for His greatness, includes praising Him for His nature of goodness. 

If you haven’t made Jesus the Lord of your life, He’s waiting to receive you. Because He is goodness personified, He doesn’t want anyone to perish; 2 Peter 3:9. He already loves you. He only wants you to accept that love and confess Him as your Lord. And today is a good day to make that decision. 

Please say this prayer if you want to begin a new life with Jesus: 

Dear Jesus, I accept you today as my Lord and personal Saviour. I confess that I have sinned; please forgive me. I believe that you died and rose again for me. By your blood, cleanse me from every unrighteousness. Thank you for the new life you have given me, help me to serve you all the days of my life. Ultimately, please help me make it to eternity with you, in Jesus name. Amen.     

Congratulations, you are now born again! If you said this prayer and would like additional information/guidance, please send an email to 1nebodyblog@gmail.com. 

As you go on this week, please remember that God is good and He desires to continually pour out His goodness on you.

God’s blessings always,

Dammy
