"Ye shall walk after Jehovah your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him."
Deuteronomy 13:4
The Lord is good, that we all know because if He wasn't, we would all be dead because of our sins.
Most of us just don't realize that the only reason why we are still here is because God has compassion for us and He is merciful and kind. Some of us, unfortunately, actually think that we deserve something, "oh, I am a good person, I deserve to be happy". That's not true. To begin with, we are not good, because goodness has no evil in it, and as far as we know about humans, we are half good half bad.
It touches me when I see someone that I know really serves God and still holds him or herself humble before the Lord, that's the only way, accepting our failure state, humbling ourselves and giving our lives to Jesus, so that He can teach us how to be better and so He will give us what He thinks it's best for us, not because we deserve it, but because He is good.
"For thou art a holy people unto Jehovah thy God, and Jehovah hath chosen thee to be a people for his own possession, above all peoples that are upon the face of the earth."
Deuteronômio 14:2
That's who we are, His people, made by Him, chosen by Him. Rebellion and pride won't take us anywhere.
In Jesus name.
