He’s kind

 The Lord is kind and merciful, patient and full of love.

- Psalm 145:8 (ERV)

 

Music is everywhere.
Personally, I love music, I listen in the car, between meetings at work, music speaks to me.

Think about the movies and TV that you watch, how many soundtracks are born from great movies?
OK, that may have been a bigger thing years ago when we still bought albums, cassettes, and CDs.
For real though, sometimes we hear a song that just clicks, or resonates with us.
In 2023 Cory Asbury released a song called “Kind”, look at the lyrics: 
Sometimes marriages don't work, and sometimes babies die

Sometimes rehab turns to relapse and you're left just askin' why

And for all the prayers I've prayed, I still wonder if He's real

And if He is, how is He choosin' who He does and doesn't heal?

I've tried to run from Jesus, I've started holy wars

I've tried the patient waitin' and the kickin' down the doors

I've cursed His name in anger with my fist raised to the sky

And in return, all He's ever been is kind

And I've burned my fair share of bridges

I learned to tuck my tail and run

Watch the wreckage in the rear view

From all the crooked things I've done

And I know that He forgives me

But it's hard to forgive myself

I can't help but think that amazing grace is for everybody else

I've tried to run from Jesus, I've started holy wars

I've tried the patient waitin' and the kickin' down the doors

I've cursed His name in anger with my fist raised to the sky

And in return, all He's ever been is kind

All He's ever been is kind

And I know I wasn't there

But when I look up at the cross

I see the darkest day in history

I guess that's what kindness cost

I've tried to run from Jesus, I've started holy wars

I've tried the patient waitin' and the kickin' down the doors

He knows I don't deserve it

But He's never changed His mind

All He's ever been is kind
Holy catfish and boy howdy – how many nails does that hit on the head? 

We all have pain, and sometimes it is overwhelming.
But God. 
God is kind, and He loves us through it all. 
God shows up for those who are going through heartbreak. 
We are not alone. 
God will heal us. 
God is all we need. 

Every human out there has had pain, suffering, doubt, and confusion.
Many of us have prayed prayers that we feel go unheard and unanswered.
We get angry with God for the circumstances we are facing, often circumstances we’ve created ourselves.
But God. 
God is good and kind. 
And He loves you.
