God is good .. ALL THE TIME

This post was written when I was not yet reborn and has been removed from one of my other blogs and posted here for easier access.

God is good all the time
I would like to begin this post with this beautiful song:

God is good all the time
He put a song of praise in this heart of mine
God is good all the time
Through the darkest night, His light will shine
God is good, God is good all the time

If you're walking through the valley
And there are shadows all around
Do not fear, He will guide you
He will keep you safe and sound
'Cause He's promised to never leave you
Nor forsake you and His Word is true

We were sinners - so unworthy
Still for us He chose to die
Filled us with His Holy Spirit
Now we can stand and testify
That His love is everlasting
And His mercies - they will never end

Lord I may not understand
All the plans He left for me
My life is in your hands
And through the eyes of Him I can clearly see

One point that I would like to clarify is that this post isn't pertaining to any religion, because though I am a strict Theist, I also believe that God is one even though we worship the same God with different names. This post is to glorify and thank our Lord who gives us 3 square meals a day, a home to live in and proper clothing.

God is indeed very good all the time. His love for us is ever lasting and He is ever forgiving. I have felt this on many incidents myself. There are certain things which we do despite knowing that they are "wrong". All that time there is an inner voice, "conscience" that keeps telling us not to do it, yet many a times we choose to ignore it. According to me this "conscience" is the voice of the part of the God within us. It's up to us how much we listen to this "inner voice". For me God is the infinite source of energy that energizes not only ours but all the other infinite universes, for me God is EVERYTHING.

Ok I think I am getting off the point here. I wanted to glorify Him and spread His word through this post. There was once upon a time, a point in my life at which I had felt totally hopeless. All I really wanted to do was to end my life. Words can't express how I felt at that time. Mind you, even though I had always loved God, I somehow didn't pray to him during this time, and I myself wonder what the reason was now. I didn't want to even talk to anyone about what was happening in my life. But I would like to thank a very special friend of mine here, MVK for making me realize how much God loved me despite all the sins that I had committed and that He would actually feel bad if I were to go away from Him and end my life this way because he has great plans for me, as for everyone else. The first thing he asked me to do was to sit and pray. All the doubts I had in mind about myself, all the negative thoughts, disappeared and I wanted to live like never before after that day. I am very happy with my life now and I would not be even here to regret if I had taken a wrong decision then.

It is all a part of God's plan. Anything could have happened then. But God had sent a person for me to help me out and to make me realize how much He loved me despite all my shortcomings because we are all His children. To think that a parent favours one child over the other is wrong, similarly it is wrong to think that God favours certain "class of people" and not the others, because it's false. He is hurt when we go away from Him but always rejoices when we realize our mistakes and return back to Him. He has and will always love us, irrespective of whether we pray or not. But He is very much hurt when we do something which we are not supposed to do. I will not call it "wrong" or "immoral" here, because it depends on the perspective. The least we can do is not hurt such a loving, ever forgiving and ever accepting parent.

Also, I would now like you all to spend a few minutes to watch this video of the song with whose lyrics I began this post:
