2/13/2020 if only they knew how good I am (Ruby Robin cherished by Christ)

The Lord said, "My people are destroyed through a lack of knowledge- OF HOW GOOD I REALLY AM." The Lord was showing me this morning how His goodness goes way above our expectations. It comes from such a higher place and it is hard to comprehend if we are in our flesh any way. The carnal mindset creates blocks in seeing how good He really is. Following on from yesterday's word about bringing us away from legalism He also showed how that rigid mindset is a huge hindrance in truly understanding and receiving all His goodness in all its glory. 

For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself (Galatians 5:14). 

Prioritising love and asking the Lord to help you put it first in everything you do, is one way to experience directly the true goodness of the Lord. This is not just a commandment for our walk but it also allows us to experience the fullness of His love and all that is good from Him. It is reciprocal. The Lord was showing how so many issues for the Body of Christ would be easily solved if they truly knew how good He is. If Cain knew how good God was, He wouldn't have withheld any type of offering from the Lord, he would have given Him everything he had, knowing it would come back to him in good measure, running over. He also wouldn't have felt any jealousy towards his brother and wouldn't have slayed him. Jealousy and envy would not exist if people truly understood how good the Lord is and how much they are dearly loved. If they knew how precious they are to our very good God and how much God has for them. Forgiveness... People would have no trouble forgiving at all. It would come instantly. Because standing in the true light and love of the Lord melts away all hurts and offenses. They become insignificant. They lose their hold. The Lord is calling us to know His goodness in its most true and vast capacity. He is calling us to a higher place. A higher place of knowing His love and how good He really is. Having this knowledge and peace and being filled with His presence as He abides in us, will then enable us to overcome so many challenges we face in this walk. As it all just melts away. The Lord says, "Tell My people to seek Me, and I will show them great things they do not know... about how good I really am... Selah."
