I love his analogy of a "song" here. Perfect. Perfect.<br /><br />For me "God is Good" is a simple statement of truth.<br />Not "good" as in an adjective used to describe God's behaviour.<br />But "good" as in a noun. It's who God is - moral and righteous.<br />"good" is simple - and sometimes, in my opinion, is helps me relate to God, knowing that Who He is can be simply defined,,. From His goodness comes all those things we crave and desire - love, wisdom, strength, HOPE.... the beauty from ashes... truth, moral, righteous (and from the latter two we can see His anger too). Simple and good. So I like to say "God is Good" - not as a judgement on his behaviour, but as a statement of who he is and what that encompasses.<br /><br />Before watching the Rob Bell clip, I also thought of that passage in Exodus where God tells Moses he is "I AM". That, to me, is God in his bigness, GREATNESS and glory. There is no messing with "I AM" and the is no way "I AM" can be boxed into any single definition. God is "I AM". .... and I live in awe and reverence of "I AM" the MAGNITUDE of "I AM" is and can be overwhelming.... the God is Good.... I live and walk, talk, breath.... Him. Everyday. <br /><br />Always good to have a few minutes to spare and to read and be thought provoked my friend!<br />Put it out there.xGailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06338253666992441869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-733325312731983180.post-18374589250970068292012-06-07T15:07:53.580-07:002012-06-07T15:07:53.580-07:00I always come away breathing easier after I read y...I always come away breathing easier after I read your words: God is in your writing voice, too :)<br /><br />xoxox,<br />AAllisunny S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17806275775227416608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-733325312731983180.post-12293504050809184322012-06-07T13:25:08.177-07:002012-06-07T13:25:08.177-07:00As always Cat your words are genuine and honest.

I love that God IS love not that he DOES love but it is who he is all encompassing. xx journey on warrior and princess xxMiriamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07222932623391963935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-733325312731983180.post-40327230164961333702012-06-07T08:16:43.065-07:002012-06-07T08:16:43.065-07:00Uncanny, a friend just spoke about that phrase wit...Uncanny, a friend just spoke about that phrase with me last night. Her mom is dying. on the street and in her bible study people keep offering her the platitude "gOd is good" she says it's empty and one dimensional and they think they are offering a chipper way to be. Instead it just hurts her pain. <br />I love the phrase God is. Way more healing... Although in that case I still would probably not even say that but instead, " your pain is legitimate and I can't imagine the intensity." I have not yet experienced a close death so I can't imagine!<br /><br /><br />This post on its own was beautiful. I like Rob too. I love his video on breathing;) have you ever read Brian Mclarens book A Generous Orthodoxy? You would love it!!!!Kmariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12947797743800775255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-733325312731983180.post-46893807054600140782012-06-07T06:48:39.482-07:002012-06-07T06:48:39.482-07:00Wow. how i loved this and needed this today. xoxoWow. how i loved this and needed this today. xoxonyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12592583659013282708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-733325312731983180.post-266110574913670312012-06-07T06:33:38.918-07:002012-06-07T06:33:38.918-07:00somehow there is such comfort in the quiet knowing...somehow there is such comfort in the quiet knowing that GOD IS.<br /><br />... be still and know ...<br /><br />something that is Living cannot be black and white, yes? <br /><br />much love to you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
