God Is Good All The Time - by Pastor Lonnie Ellis

Dear Beloved Family,
 
In Christiandom we here a lot of cliché phrases along the lines of just the few listed below. We hear songs, sermons and even read books about them. We often speak these words over each other as a form of encouragement as we often should.
 
“God is Good All The Time”.
“If God is for you then who Could Be Against You”
“Taste & See That The Lord is Good”
“ Daddy You Love Me’
 
These statements are based in BIBLICAL TRUTHS and Papa wants to IMPACT and bring TRANSFORMATION in our lives with these Kingdom Life-Changing words.
 
But when we go through or we are in the midst of:
 
Loss (financial, divorce, home, savings, job ect.)
Death of a loved one or friend
A son or daughter leaving homee 
Transition
Hurricaines, Tornadoes, Earthquakes, Fires ect.
and more…
 
Our spirits and hearts can at times become numb to the impact they should have on our lives.
 
We all will experience up’s and downs in our lives. It’s easy to feel uncomfortable, be around or avoid friends and family that might be experiencing challenging times. I want to encourage us all (as we are called to do and be) that God Is Good All The Time, in our good-times and our challenging times PERIOD!
 
To release or give insight on this topic I included a link of an article from the Elijah List that will go into greater detail.

Title: "Can't I Bless You In Your Suffering?"
 
Each family will go through seasons of challenge and suffering in the course of a lifetime. As a family, we recently experienced one of those times. In the end, God showed up and pointed the situation in a new direction, but at the start we felt overwhelmed.
 
Click on this link to read the whole article. It is worth it:
 
I pray that your spirit is blessed as mine was blessed and encouraged.
Be Blessed and Be A Blessing.
