Vol III: #26 What Is Good?

A brief discussion on what is good.

At every step in the creation process, God stopped to observe His efforts. And then, He called it good. What a hilarious thing to do. Is it not bizarre, to some extent? The almighty God of Heaven and Earth declaring His work good. And, to who is He saying this? Who heard God say, “It is Good?” Regardless, it’s a declaration worth noting and accepting.

In my mind, so of today, I don’t believe the Lord called it good because He felt good about it, or because His creation was perfect in the moment. The Lord saw the beginning and the end. His declaration was for the now and the future. And, that’s how I want to think and live life. I want to find what has been good, is good, and will be good.

Perfectionism is our enemy, and goodness is whatever creates or sustains life; like food, patience, shelter, hugs, and grace. (We will always need and our needs are not a sin. It is how we fill those needs that can be sinful and destructive.)

Journal: #227 How?

Therefore, I ask myself and the Holy Spirit, how do relate to and reach these people? Or do I even try?

I don’t know. More tomorrow.

I will write more about this tomorrow, but I spent the entire weekend with some lovely friends. It was awesome. Also, very boring. Their lives are a series of routines and planned events. Their’s no adventure. No creativity. They seem perfectly happy painting by numbers.

It makes me wonder…what am I doing? What am I aiming at?

I’m not shook or upset about it. But I do feel as though the world is stocked with people craving safety. I don’t. Never will. Therefore, I ask myself and the Holy Spirit, how do relate to and reach these people? Or do I even try?

I don’t know. More tomorrow.
