Psalms 27: 13 Yet I am confident I will see the LORD’s goodness while I am here in the land of the living. 14 Wait patiently for the LORD. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the LORD.

what does the Lord's goodness look like... would we know it when we see it? is our idea of His goodness the same thing as His?

I feel as though I see the goodness of the Lord every single day.. it doesn't have to be some spectacular show or some long awaited miracle to let me see the goodness of God... I have peace.. I have joy.. but on top of those spiritual gifts.. I have a house over my head.. I have food in my stomach... I have affection.. I have belonging...

where does my belonging and affection come from? not from outside.. it comes from within.. I belong to God.. I am accepted by Him.. He holds me and loves me.. these are not things that I can show you outside.. they are within me... they are so strong that acceptance and belonging by humans really doesn't matter... I am comfortable in my own skin...

is my life perfect? no.. I am ready to be married.. I want to lose this last 10lbs... my son is in jail... I am not good with finances..

I feel as if the things that are not right.. not perfect.. those are outward things.. those are all things that can be physically fixed... they are circumstances.. but inward.. inside of me.. I am at peace.. I am happy.. I am loved by the God that created the heavens..

what more could anyone really need?
