why do we call it good

surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows.

the closest we have come to turmoil and discord and uncertainty and real fear for a long time.
the closest i have come to unvarnished human nature for some time too.
the impatience and self-centeredness and graspingness and inconsideration.
the clinging to the old ways the reluctance to try something new.
but also the kindness of strangers the creativity of those who have nothing to lose.
the cheerful comradeship of being in the same boat together.
the provision that we only realize at the end of yet another day.
the dawning wonder that it is because of His mercies that we are not destroyed.

though He was rich, yet for our sakes He became poor, that we through His poverty might become rich.
i guess that is good.
