Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.
​Joshua 1:9

Lord I love all the ways that You love me

Through the good and the bad and the ugly
I can still see the sunshine above me
Lord I love all the ways that You love me
​You’re the good, You’re the good, You’re the goodness. ("The Goodness" Toby Mac and Blessing Offor)

As much as I tried, I could not quite move on from the song, “The Goodness” by TobyMac and Blessing Offor. I felt that there is still so much more that can be said.
    The few lines above are sung by both singers, but each with his own slight twist. These lines are first sung by TobyMac but when Blessing sings it a second time, instead of singing: “I can still “see” the sunshine above me,” he sings, “I can still “feel” the sunshine above me.” To be honest I paid attention because, knowing that Blessing is blind, I wondered if he would use the same word “see” when he sang it. He didn’t. I realised that each person experienced God’s goodness in a different way. No one way was better than  the other. One “saw” it, the other “felt” it. It was the same sunshine but appreciated in a different way. 
    I love the fact that God makes sure that everyone can experience His goodness. He knows that we all have different challenges, different limitations but He knows just how to ensure that no one misses the expression of His love.
    Later on in this verse is the line, “Lord I love all the ways that You love me.” It’s a reminder to me of God’s love and of the vastness of that love. Psalm 36:5 says: “Your unfailing love, O Lord, is as vast as the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches beyond the clouds.” It’s not just one thing but the multitude of ways that God shows His love. He chooses to wake us up every day. He gives us health and strength and the ability to enjoy each day. For me personally, I love the fact that God knows me so well that He knows exactly how to cheer me up when I am down. He knows exactly the right movie, the right song, the right sermon, the right word, just the right thing to put a smile back on my face and in my heart. God always keeps His promise … He NEVER leaves us alone. He is always there when we need Him - even when we don’t always appreciate His presence. 
    What are the ways God is loving you today? He does it every single day. Take the time to reflect on His love for you, on the various ways that He shows you that He cares and that He is always there even when you don’t realise it. 
    If you have not accepted Jesus Christ into your life as your personal Lord and Saviour, I encourage you to make that step now. God loves us in so many ways that it can be hard to keep track. Whether we deserve it or not, He chooses to love us and has a beautiful plan for each of us. His love  always seeks the best for us, it never runs out, never fails…
