It is good
+++++++++++++++++++
It is good that you are where you are. Because where you are is a place from which you can surely move forward.
It is good that you have made it through the events that brought you to this place and time. Because the journey has provided you with valuable knowledge, experience, wisdom and strength.
It is good that there are challenges for you to tackle. For on the other side of those challenges, once you work through them, is the treasure of achievement.
It is good that you’re not completely certain about what tomorrow will bring. Because that gives you the opportunity to make tomorrow into whatever you choose.
It is good that the world is constantly changing. For that gives you the ability to fill it with your highest vision.
It is good that things are just the way they are. For that gives you the perfect opportunity to make life into the best that it can be.

Luke 22:7-13
“Then came the first day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed. And He (Jesus) sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat it.”
“And they said to Him, “Where do You want us to prepare it?” And He said to them, “Behold, when you have entered the city, a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water; follow him into the house that he enters.
“And you shall say to the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher says to you, “Where is the guest room in which I may eat the Passover with My disciples? And he will show you a large, furnished, upper room; prepare it there.”
“And they departed and found everything just as He had told them; and they prepared the Passover.” Luke 22:7-13 (NAS) Forward to a friend
John 21:1-8
“After these things Jesus manifested Himself again to the disciples at the Sea of Tiberias, and He manifested Himself in this way. There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of His disciples.”
“Simon Peter said to them, “I am going fishing.” They said to him, “We will also come with you.” They went out, and got into the boat; and that night they caught nothing. But when the day was now breaking, Jesus stood on the beach; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.”
“Jesus therefore said to them, “Children, you do not have any fish, do you?” They answered Him, “No.” And He said to them, “Cast the net on the right-hand side of the boat, and you will find a catch.” They cast therefore, and then they were not able to haul it in because of the great number of fish.”
“That disciple therefore whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord.” And so when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put his outer garment on (for he was stripped for work, and threw himself into the sea. But the other disciples came in the little boat, for they were not far from the land, but about one hundred yards away, dragging the net full of fish.” John 21:1-8 (NAS)
