Meditations

I Shall Not Want The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. Psalm 23.1 When I have God, what else could I want? Truly, God Himself is the only good there is, and His goodness is never ending. And so I say to all the falsely good things of the earth, get away from me. You are unworthy of bearing the name good. The only thing you are good for is to make man bad. Nothing is good except God. He is in my heart, and I will always carry Him within me. It does not matter if God takes away my pleasures, my riches, my honors, my authority, my friends, my health, and even my life. As long as He does not hide Himself from my heart, I will always be rich. I will not have lost anything at all, no, I will have held on to the One who is of everything. The Lord has been searching for me in all my wanderings away from Him. He has loved me when I have not loved Him. He has looked on me with gentle tenderness in spite of my ingratitude. I am in His hands, He is leading me according to His wishes. I feel how weak I am and how strong God is, and if I keep my trust in His power, I will never lack for anything.
