DENNIS
Good Morning. I’m Dennis Gossett, Associate Pastor at Central United Methodist Church. In a world filled with violence and tragedy, it can be hard to see the good that surrounds us. When we are affected by bad things, it is doubly hard to imagine a good God. But no matter how well or how bad things are in life, no one will be able to understand the goodness of God. The writer of Psalm 8 noted, “When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars that you have established; what are human being that you are mindful of them, mortals that you care for them?”
God is so good that he loves each and every one of us; even when the actions of other people say otherwise. God still loves us in such a way that we cannot comprehend it. A nun known as Julian of Norwich once wrote, “No created being can ever know how much God loves them. It is only with the help of his grace that we can accept the heights of his goodness.” Let us all take some time this week to allow ourselves to be alone with the One who creates, loves, and preserves. Then we will be reminded that even when we cannot see justice and mercy in the world, we still can trust in the goodness of God.
