The Greatness of God

Today we received a copy of Sophia's passport and it reminded me of an old expression: "God is good, all the time." However, this statement does not fully express the true magnitude of God's character. Jeremiah stated, "The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness" (Lam. 3:22-23). A statement like Jeremiah's makes "God is good, all the time," seem a little trite. In truth, God is great, all the time, and our understanding of the depth of that greatness should be ever expanding as we continue to flourish under his gracious love and care for us as his children.

We have had to continually remind ourselves of God's great goodness over and over again throughout the this long journey, but his faithfulness has never wavered. His care has never waned. His mighty arm is never too short; his grip never loosens. We are grateful to our Great God, who upholds us in his great mercy. Lord, may your name be magnified in all the earth. This picture represents the reality that our little girl is one step closer to home. We thank God for that, and all of you for your prayer.
