God is so good. This became my mantra within the first couple weeks of the school year, but little did I know how much this short phrase would come to mean to me. I learned that my definition of good does not always align with God’s definition of good. God’s goodness is not based solely on what He’s done, but also on who He is. Romans 8:28 says, “And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.” Whatever happens in my life is a good purpose ordained by God, even when I don’t understand it. When life is going well, God is good; when life is not going well, God is good. God is completely and eternally good in every situation. I grew up in a home where my parents pointed me to the Lord every day. When I became a Jesus follower at a young age, I was convicted by the Holy Spirit to live out the mission of Christ. I didn’t take this seriously because I didn’t know how. My family was always at church and involved in ministry. I would go to church every Sunday, and I even served on ministry teams. However, I felt as though I was going through the motions and my whole heart wasn’t in the right place. I held onto bitterness and selfish desires, and I didn’t let go of my pride. When I came to WOLBI though, Jesus changed my heart toward His name and His church. I desire to live out the mission of Jesus Christ; to make disciples of all nations.
