God is Good! James 1:16-17 “Do not be deceived my beloved brethren. Every good thing bestowed and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the father of lights, with whom there is no variation, or shifting shadow.”
I spent most of my teenage years thinking God was trying to make me some goof. I soon found out that if you are some goof, you did that all by yourself, God did not have anything to do with it. Stop blaming Him. He is good. We all like good stuff, and it comes from God. It is amazing how we are deceived. We always seem to blame God for the bad when nothing bad can come from God, because God is Good. It amazes me when I look back at my life and see the times I got frustrated and mad at God because He, I thought, was the reason for my misfortune. I have since learned that most of the problems in my life are a result of some stupid decision I made along the way. I, maybe like you, thought God was just a cosmic cop who does not want me to have any fun in life, but that is totally the opposite. Everything fun and good comes from Him. Lets quit looking in the wrong place.
