God is good

Heavenly Father, thank you that you are completely,
perfectly, wholly good! There is not one iota of
you that is evil. You abhor evil. You cannot be
tempted with evil. Your character is to bless and
not to curse. Therefore, I can bless those who
curse me; pray for those who despitefully use me
and forgive those who hurt me.

Lamentations 3:22 says, "It is of the LORD's mercies that we
are not consumed, because his compassions fail not."
Psalm 145:8-9 " The LORD is gracious, and full of compassion;
slow to anger, and of great mercy. The LORD is good to all:
and his tender mercies are over all his works." '

In this world full of evil, we have an oasis of hope...Hope
in the mercies of a God whose character is to do good.

It is the goodness of God which leads us to repentance.
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten
Son that who ever believes in Him (Jesus)shall not perish but
have everlasting life."
