CONFESSION OF A SOUND MIND Words of Light upon the Face of Condemnation, Darkness, Idols, and Ingratitude By Natalie Ellis A thankful heart is an open avenue for God’s goodness. He inhabits the praises of his people. I will continue to be thankful; therefore, the abundance of goodness will continually overtake me. The windows of heaven have been opened, and blessings are being poured out. I am beholding the kindness that God is showing to me each day that I live. I am abundantly grateful; therefore, I am now experiencing him in a light of knowledge not known to those who casually give thanks. There is a super abundance of God’s goodness. Many live in the shallow places of this life because they have never filled their entire hearts with thanksgiving. I am overwhelmed with thanksgiving. God is filled with goodness. His generosity is plenteous. His kindness is a willing expression of his great love. Jesus is the excellent God who is above all gods. He has come to live inside of me. That is invaluable to me. It is priceless to me. I think about that reality often. I have found grace in God’s sight. He goes with me and remains with me, even unto the end of the age. God has called me by name. His goodness has come unto me, and his graciousness is obvious in my life. Brokenness is my expression because he has shown me mercy. Jesus has revealed himself unto me. I know him in a little portion; however, that little portion of knowledge is great in value. A very little portion is heard of Jesus, the living God. No one can understand the thunder of his power. I am seeing through a glass darkly, but one day I shall see Jesus face to face. I know in part now, but one day I shall know him as he is. Grace and abundant goodness are mine. God’s goodness leads to repentance; therefore, I will keep the commandments without spot, unrebukeable, until his appearing when he shall show that he is the only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords. The open door into his presence is invaluable. I came into the presence of the Creator. I have considered that. Many walk into his presence and take his goodness for granted. If God’s goodness were taken away from me, I would dwell in darkness. He has restored the joy of salvation. A living word has been given to me. I am eating the good word of God and I have tasted and I see how good he is. The abundance of his goodness has abounded. The fields of my life are filled with plenty. The fruit of God’s goodness has exceeded my expectancy. I am walking through my fields with the sickle of praise, and I have found new ground for the harvest of plenty. God’s goodness is as an unharvested crop in a field for many. They have not journeyed down the rows of their lives and given thanks for all that is there. I have taken up the sickle of praise and I am harvesting his goodness. I am taking up baskets of thanksgiving and gathering the fruit of his goodness. His goodness has spoiled me, for I have left much of its fruit in the vineyard of my life and not touched it with the hands of praise and the lips of thanksgiving. I journeyed through my heart with the Lord, and he showed me how wretched I was. Much of God’s goodness was not perceived because my heart was filled with so much of self and things. However, I am now beholding the majesty of the one who lives inside of me; my temple is now filled with his glory. God’s glory does not shine on the faces of many people because they neglect to give abundant praise and thanksgiving to their King who abides forever. God has touched my eyes and therefore, I am beholding him living inside of me. Those who cry out for this awareness shall envision the reality of God’s Spirit within them. Any royal guest who comes to my house will be honored to the highest degree. Jesus is the Lord of the house. Therefore, I honor and praise him.
