All Good

What does it mean to be "all good"? It is something we all want. It is the desire of the human heart – we want to be in a good place. There are many examples and areas of life that we want to be able to say – "Everything is in order. It's all good." Relationships. Family. Marriage. Job. Children. Retirement. Even when all of these things are "all good" there is always something nagging at us. Because even those who have charmed lives, where everything is all good, there is a deeper need that must be met – because the grave is all bad. This is why, when Paul says, "Blessed be our God and Father in our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ," that there is no other response but doxology. Your greatest need this, no matter how good you think things are, is to know that Eternal God has made you all good in Christ – a greater good than any good that could ever be felt or accomplished on this earth in and of ourselves.
