“The back-slider in heart will always judge God by what He didn’t do. But those who run with tenderness for who He is will always define Him by what He has said, by what He has promised, and by what He has done.

And to be as honest as I know how to be, I’ve seen too much of His kindness to think anything other than He is absolutely good. Always, always good.”

• Bill Johnson, three days after his wife passed away from a long battle with cancer.
