This World Is Far From Perfect... But God Is Still Good

This world is far from perfect. It's easy to see that some days. It's easy to become overwhelmed by the evil some days.

But, God is still good.

When I begin to feel overwhelmed by all of the bad things in this world, when I begin to think that no one is trying to do any good, I need to remember that God is still in control.

And there is something perfect to look forward to. One day, we who have accepted God's grace will live in Heaven.

But, until then, here are a few Bible verses to keep in mind.

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is-his good, pleasing and perfect will.
Romans 12:2

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.

Phillippians 2:3-4

In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
Matthew 5:16
