God is good all the time


Internet-less nights become sleepless nights. As I was searching for some songs on my phone to give me company to go to sleep tonight, I realized I only had one song stored in my phone, unlike in my laptop or in YouTube. That one song didn’t help me to sleep; it only got me thinking even more.

It’s a song written in Tamil by some young youths whose testimonies I am uncertain about. All I know is that they wrote this song in times of adversity in their lives and families. In phases of such hardship, they chose to praise their creator and maker, acknowledging that God is all-powerful and mighty, that he is the Lord of Lords and the King of Kings, and that all the earth should sing of His praises because His goodness is uncountable.

I’ve regularly heard people say, God is good all the time, and all the time God is good. It’s become a common term that sometimes we don’t stop to think the depth of such a term. I myself have said it many times, without realizing its genuine truth.

Recently, I heard about a father who didn’t want to wake his 7-year-old daughter at 5am to send the mother off to the train station, just because she was in a deep sleep and he didn’t have the heart to disturb her. If an earthly father can love his child this much, how much more will our Heavenly Father love us.

God is good ALL the time, all the time God IS good. In times of success, God is good. In times of failures, God is good. In times of prosperity, God is good. In times of adversity, God is good. In times of joyfulness, God is good. In times of sorrows, God is good. In times of security, God is good. In times of uncertainty, God is good. Whether I get what I asked for or not, God is good all the time. The Lord who is good during our high times, is good during our low times as well. It is actually during times of difficulties that we need to understand that God IS good, because he sustains us from feeling even worse than we think we are.

Today marks 6 months of being married. Despite the difference in time zones and views, and uncertainties about future plans, God’s goodness has prevailed throughout. Right from the beginning of wedding talks, till this very day, God has been good.

As this song is playing on repeat mode on my phone now, I cannot be anymore convinced, that GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME AND ALL THE TIME GOD IS GOOD. And I cannot be any more thankful for His grace.

Very true. Though the song kept you awake, Spiritually it has assured a peace in God.

a quiz that is at least 75% accurate... in my case

Finally... i come across a survey or quiz thingy that is at least 75% accurate. I've never really been a fan of these things, but i sort of do it anyways cos i think its a good laugh in the end when u read wat a computerized program tells about u. give it a try... it hardly takes more than 5 minutes...n d questions are pretty interesting. http://www.quizbox.com/personality/test82.aspx the link is called 'get to know urself better'. if u need a computer and a webpage to tell u about urself.. then u seriously need help. i'd rather call this thing as '............' *five minutes later* okay... i dont know wat i'd call it, but i'd definitely not want to call it as 'get to know urself better' anyways, this is wat it said about me.. not all is true, but 75% of it is... Your view on yourself: You are intelligent, honest and sweet. You are friendly to everybody and don't like conflict. Because you're so cheerful and fun people are naturally at...

i feel like i've missed a lot all these years.. like i do today

this is a very spontaneous post. i never even thought about things like this before... In my quarter of a century of lifetime... never have i ever felt missing out on something being the only child. but today i do. almost all my friends in malaysia have siblings... infact ALL of them had/have siblings... i was d only one who didnt. most of my friends in india have siblings and it didnt bother me. at that time, i felt having a sibling was not all that important. (even now i dont think its all that important). even when i used to go to India for holidays every year ( all the members from my mum's side of the family was there... now most of them are all around the world.. just like my dad's side of the family), i never really felt like i've been missing out in the sibling thing. all my mum's siblings are very closely attached and the love they have for each other is so obvious even when they are talking about them to ppl not in the family. like, one of my aunt would say. ...
