The Good Life

This is my life.
And this is your life.
And yes, it is good.
It may not be easy. In fact, most days it will be everything but easy.
It is imperfect, messy..broken.
But, oh how beautiful it is.
And good. Oh so very good.

Remembering today that God is a good God. And that He is only good. So the life that He has given me...it too is the good life. The one He gave me...this breath, this moment, this heartache, this joy, this compassion, this beauty, this memory, all of it...every bit of this life is good, and it is beautiful.
There is beauty in this place.

My God, you see, He is a craftsman. He is good at what He does. A craftsman knows their craft, they are careful with their craft. They study it, the understand it, they purpose it.
I am purposed for something. And not just anything. But for good things.

"For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." Ephesians 2:10
