God is Good- All the Time.......Really?

It was early morning-
The sun was just coming into it's full glory through the window.
The blinds were drawn, but not closed completely.
Now in those ever so small openings-
The openings between each shade panel-
The brilliance of the new morning sun light beamed through-
Right into the eyes of my friend sitting just across from me.
Now this same sun light warmed the back of my own neck just a bit.
For me it was a pleasant start to a promising new day.
Not so for my friend as he first squinted-
Then turned his head awkwardly in an effort to escape his discomfort.
Finally-
After a bit-
My friend picked himself up out of his chair-
And moved to a new spot.

The same sun-
Pleasure for me-
Pain for my friend.

There are times and places in my life-
Where the Goodness of God really feels painful.
Maybe it's the only way though-
The only way I will move-
Move to a better place.

James 1:2 Count it pure Joy, my Brothers,
When you face Trials of many Kinds.
Holy Spirit,
Speak into my heart
The Truth of the Goodness of God
In all my Life.
Amen
