For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations. (Psalm 100:5)
Prayer:
Dear Lord, Goodness is one of Your attributes. This means that as an attribute You are "all Good". A. W. Tozier states: 'the goodness of God is the drive behind all the blessings He daily bestows upon us.' Your goodness is that which causes You to be kind, cordial, and full of good toward all of man. As an attribute, it is self-caused, infinite, perfect and eternal. Your Goodness, Lord, is an unmerited, spontaneous goodness of God and is back of all Your acts. The last verse of a poem written by Charles Wesley fits here, Lord:
Before my faith's enlightened eyes
Make all thy gracious goodness pass.
Thy goodness is the sight I prize:
O might I see thy smiling face:
Thy nature in my soul proclaim.
Reveal Thy love, Thy glorious name!
"O Taste and see that the Lord is good!" (Psa. 34:8) Amen
