2. Forgives all our sins (vs3)

3. He heals all our diseases (vs3)

4. Crowns you with love and compassion

7. Not always accuse, nor does he harbour his anger forever;

8. He does not treat us as our sins deserve

9. He does not repay us according to our iniquities

10. For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him;

As we meditate on God’s goodness towards us, He calls us and desires us to be good. The more we meditate on his word, pray and ask for the Holy Spirit to dwell in our lives, the more He will change.

We however also have important roles to play in our characters being changed. We are told in today’s reading to make every effort, or to make constant effort, to add goodness to our character.

The type of goodness here is one where we have an uncommon character that is worthy of praise and of moral excellence.

How do you treat others? Do you treat them with the same kind of graciousness that God has towards you?

The more you see how merciful, gracious and good God has been to you, the more you are called to exercise goodness towards others.

Our first call is towards our family members. Are you kind, loving, forgiving and giving of yourself? Our challenge is to make every effort to be nice to our children, siblings’, spouses and friends.

Ask God to show you ways in which you could constantly be good to those closest to you.

We are to ask God to point out to us those characteristic flaws that are displeasing to Him. For me it was a complaining spirit, for you it could be something else.

Whether its pornography, flirtatious character, gossip, immorality, God wants us to make an effort in getting rid of these characters and be of good moral conduct.

Look at the character flaws that you have and set out a plan for overcoming that character flaw. I had to limit the minutes in which I corrected my daughter and determine to encourage and not condemn when she did wrong.

Our Father is a good God who has promised that His goodness and mercy will always follow us all the days of our lives, in turn He expects us to not only be good to others but be of good moral character too.
