Here’s a thought I had today after trying to figure out why people say “God is so good” only when things go as they’d hoped. It isn’t just that God only shows us his love to us when he brings about good things but rather, it is one way that he shows us his love–in his mercy. God is always good. As it is written, “the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.
– Job 1: 20-21 (KJV)
