“God is so good.” I realized that was my saying this summer. I said it to those I was around and those I was close to. I said it during transitions into songs and during prayers. I often found myself even saying it to myself, as a continuous reminder of how God is so good. That saying is so simple, and I realize now why I chose that to say repeatedly. The saying “God is so good” encompasses so much more than the shallow meaning the words provide. God is not only good, but His greatness is beyond measure. His power and might are overwhelming, yet His love and gentleness are comforting and fulfilling. He controls the whole universe, yet has the time to pay attention to plan the most intricate parts of your life. He is divine and the great romancer, continuously making you want to fall deeper in love for Him and His creation.
I am simply in awe and wonder at how God has worked in my life these past three years. I was so sure of life before my first summer working at camp, but God obviously knew He needed to change that. He sent me into the summer broken, clinging to Him and ready to serve Him however I could. I have now left my third summer at camp, healed, still clinging to Him, yet full of love for life and others. I am able to look back and see where God has played His hand in my life, placing me with people and situations that have caused me to learn and grow into the person I am today. For that, I am ever thankful and continuously praise His name for the blessings He has given to me.
So, when I say, “God is so good,” there is such a deeper meaning behind it. I want to be able to say all these things, to explain the way God has worked in my life, to explain the beauty and majesty of the Creator, but sometimes saying “God is so good” is all you need. People can just tell that you mean it and that it’s true.
God is so good.
