“There is but one good; that is God. Everything else is good when it looks to Him and bad when it turns from Him.” C.S. Lewis

Each of us have attitudes, desires, and feelings. It would be a mistake to say that we should not let any one of these influence our choices if they are in line with what is good. We are a mix of them all. It is how we measure goodness that counts. We cannot use happiness alone as the measure, because people find happiness in bad stuff all the time. Jesus teaches us that God is wholly good and therefore places value only in goodness. Here is where faith comes into play. Learn to trust what God values which if we are honest, is many times contrary to what we value.

“No one is good except God alone.”  Jesus “Conversations Within” ts 5/25/2019
