"How great is your goodness, which you have stored up for those who
fear you, which you bestow in the sight of men on those who take refuge in
you!" Psalm 31:19
"They will celebrate
Your great goodness and joyfully sing of your righteousness."
Psalm 145:7
Ingratitude makes little of much--but
gratitude sees much in little.
Brethren, we have received no little
goodness from our heavenly Father, but all has been great goodness.
Is there a blessing that we enjoy from God,
which we can dare to despise? Whatever comes to us from Him, is great
goodness.
Oh, beloved, we need not continue to talk about
it, for surely upon the very surface we can see:
the great goodness of electing love,
the great goodness of redeeming love,
the great goodness of converting love,
the great goodness of pardoning love,
the great goodness of upholding love,
the great goodness of sanctifying love,
the great goodness which has sent the Savior to prepare Heaven for
us, and the great goodness which is preparing us that we may enter
into Heaven.
"Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life, and I
will dwell in the house of the LORD forever!" Psalm 23:6
"How can I repay the LORD for all his goodness to me?" Psalm 116:12
