The Lord’s Graciousness

Some people complain that the Lord isn�t being gracious with them when they go through a hard time.� When they are struggle financially, they think God has forgotten them, or that He no longer cares. But God does care.� He hasn�t forgotten.� God is always God.� He�s always gracious.

And that goodness is especially evident by the miracle of the cross of Jesus.� St. Paul writes in the book of Romans that the “wages of sin is death.”� All of us have sinned against God, so none of us deserve to be with Him in Heaven.� It is only through Jesus� death on the cross that we can be with God for eternity.

Be careful if you�re hurting not to blame God or become angry with Him. He loves you so much that He died and rose for you.� That should be more than enough for you to remember His goodness. Praise God today for all that He�s done for you.� You can rejoice in your salvation, even if you have temporary difficulties here on earth.� Share God�s goodness with a friend today and explain the reason for your joy, even when things are hard.
