Is he good or what?

OK, so in the past few weeks, God has shown me so much....more like slapped me right in the face and told me I am not as invincible as I think I am. I am so amazed, and completely confused...I can't even begin to explain. I know now, more than ever, that Satan is real, and he is surrounding my every move just waiting for me to give him a foothold into my life. But I am so glad that God is right there to lift me out and wake me up. It's like he is sending me all these things, waving his arms telling me to hold on...back up. Every time I fall, every single time he is always there to lift me up, to pick me back up again. He has done it again. Is he good or what??

At one time, I heard faith explained a very neat way. He said, faith is like a dam, holding back tons of water. Every mistake we make, every wrong move and every temptation we fall into creates a crack in our dam, or our faith. The more we give in to temptation, the more the water seeps into our lives, and without the grace of God to intervene, we can be completely flooded with sin, up to our heads wondering how we will ever get out.

I know now that my faith is not as solid as I thought it was, and it could definitely be strengthened more. There are definate holes that could be mended. I am just so glad that he knows my every move, so he can mold me more and more in his image. Because he knows that "good" isn't good enough. And I just pray that certain people in my life can come to understand that.
