I AM SOVEREIGN, AND I AM
GOOD. These are essential truths about who I am. When you are struggling with
the brokenness of this world, it can be a challenge to believe both truths
simultaneously. Because I am Sovereign, I am ultimately in control of
everything that happens--to you and to others. This knowledge is sometimes hard
to swallow, especially in the face of atrocities or catastrophes. Amid such
carnage, many people conclude that only a cruel God could be overseeing a world
like this. Let me assure you that I am absolutely Good. I am pure Light, and
there is not an iota of darkness in Me. My absolute Goodness in the face of so
much evil is totally beyond your understanding. When you are struggling with
these mysteries, come to Me. Express yourself freely to Me, trusting that I
care and understand. Then, subordinate your finite mind to My infinite
intelligence, My Sovereign ways. Relinquish your demand to understand, and rest
in My compassionate Presence. Cling to Me in childlike trust, believing that My
way--though mysterious--is perfect. (from the book Jesus Today by Sarah Young)
