This quote making the rounds in social media right now is simply reflective of the eternal truths in God’s Love Letter to us that remind us to focus on and cling to what is good. 

And, ultimately, everything that is good  comes from God (See James 1:17).  In the end, that is truly what we want: more of God – our Father, our Designer, our Redeemer, our friend….

“Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things.” – Philippians 4:8 NASB

“Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.” – James 1:17 NIV
