Look for the Good

~~~ Genesis 1:1-19 ~~~ Psalm 104 ~~~ Mark 6:53-56 ~~~

God saw how good it was.

In the first nineteen verses of Genesis God looked 

upon his creation four separate times and saw good,

You might say of course God would see good he is God...

all of what he created was good.

But God paused to make note

 of the goodness manifesting itself 

from his very being,

God could have existed forever 

without creating anything from his goodness.

He chose to make his goodness visible for us.

Jesus comes into our world after the creation goodness

 had become obscured by people.

Jesus came to us with all of the goodness of the Father.

He went around looking for the goodness

 in everyone he came into contact with during his travels.

We can learn to do the same thing...

we too can look for the goodness within the people around us.

Sometimes it may be our own goodness 

that brings out the goodness in another person.

Jesus healed people because he could see deeper into their soul;

he could see that below the surface they did have a goodness.

When Jesus healed he was in effect bringing

 forth their innate goodness.

When Jesus healed he was magnifying

 the goodness that each of them had been born with.

Jesus healed through the power of his goodness

 which comes directly through the Father.

Many only needed to touch the tassel hanging 

from the cloak of Jesus.

That was enough to restore them 

to their fundamental goodness of healing.

Our challenge today is to look past 

the negativity of our world today;

to find the basic goodness God placed 

into all of creation.

God saw how good it was.

And we can too.

Looking for the good;

 you will attract many Blessings.

~~~Peace~~~
