Experiencing His Goodness

“Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know him.” - 1 John 3:1, NKJV

Experiencing His Goodness
Bailie White

Our God is so good and has been so good and will always and forever be so good. He is always working in so many ways every second of every day even in the little things.

I was walking out of chapel one day this week and a couple of my friends from back home were walking down the road and said, “Hey Bailie! We’re going to hoop cheese want to come eat with us?” And I didn’t have a class until 2:30, so I went. We immediately recognized this as a “God moment.” When we got back to campus, we were thanked Him for that time we got to spend together.

As our Father, He continuously treats us to these little moments, we just need to look for them. I don’t believe in coincidences because our God is still alive and working. We just have to be on the lookout.

In a song a song by Francesca Battistelli, it says “Let us become more aware of Your presence, let us experience the glory of Your goodness.”

Just like my parents and other friends from back home have been sending me mail and little packages since school started, God sends us little moments like these.

Give Him the glory for all of the good and perfect things because they are from Him after all. Recognize Him today. Constantly be on the lookout for the good little things to happen because after all He is such a good Father. The best we could ask for, and we are so blessed to be His children.

“Oh, this Love so undeniable I, I can hardly speak Peace so unexplainable I, I can hardly think As You call me, deeper still As you call me deeper still As you call me deeper still Into love, love, love.” - Good Good Father, Chris Tomlin

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
