God Is Too Good To Be Unkind

The chorus of the song gives us a beautiful reminder: God is too wise to be mistakenGod is too good to be unkindSo when you don’t understandWhen you don’t see His planWhen you can’t trace His handTrust His Heart The line that struck my heart the most was the one that says, “God is too good to be unkind.” I often remember these words every time I experience a struggle in life.

God is Kind
Did you ever wonder how God will respond every time you commit mistakes? How will He treat you every time you miss His instructions? Or how will He react when you are in pain? In 1 John 4:8, it was stated that God is love, and in 1 Corinthians 13, it says that one of the attributes of love is kindness. This means that our God is a kind God. Every time we sin, He will never respond with a condemning voice. He will never highlight our mistakes nor give us the punishment we deserve. God would respond with kindness. Every time we fail to notice His blessings and become…

Let The Goodness Of God Flow Through You

There will be days when you just can’t understand what’s going on. You will unexpectedly receive pain from the people around you. Tears will flow. The negative situations that you will experience will either break or make you. That’s why you need to carefully consider the way you respond to it.

Repay Evil With Good
Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone. Romans 12:17,NIV “Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth.” Sadly, this is usually what the world follows. You would rarely see people who would repay evil with good deeds. Repaying painful words with unforgiveness, heartbreaking deeds with bitterness and grudge, mistakes with disrespect. These are the common things you would experience. But here comes Paul, trying to remind us to do good despite the pain. IT’S NOT EASY. But it’s possible. It takes dying and surrender. And the more you do what is right in the eyes of God, the…

Comfort Others Even If You Are Also in Need of It
Please do not stop caring and showing your affection to others who need it. When life throws stones at you, it doesn’t mean that you will throw them back to others. Instead, do what is right and what is good. Remember how God saved you from your own battles, and know that there are people who are still in that kind of war within themselves. It is hard for a person to escape from the type of pain and hurt that becomes part of their comfort. That is why they cannot avoid hurting others as well. So when you meet them, try to be more patient and understand them. God…

But even though He went through painful experiences, still Joseph chose to stay faithful to God. He used His God-given gift to interpret dreams while He was in prison, and…
