“Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.” Psalms 23:6
Two people knocked on the door of her home. Staring at them through the crack of the door, she asked, “Yes, can I help you?” They said, “We have been assigned to follow you everyday for the rest of your life.” She laughed, “You want to do what!?” They said, “Our names are Goodness and Mercy and your Father in heaven has sent us here to follow you wherever you go.” She was cautious. Life had taught her some hard lessons about trusting others. As she stood there, she could see Corruption and Dismay lurking behind the trees, with a sneaky grin on their faces. She was all too familiar with them and had just kicked them out of her house. However, they knew if she didn’t receive God’s Goodness and Mercy into her home, they would find their way eventually back into her life.
As she stood there, she whispered to herself, “If anyone is going to follow me, it won’t be Corruption and Dismay. It won’t be what I’ve always experienced in my past.” She then opened the door—as wide as she could open, and Goodness and Mercy came into her home and closed the door behind them.
Whenever she stumbled, Mercy was there to pick her up and dress her wounds. Mercy helped remind her of the Father’s love regardless of her many mistakes. Whenever she faced a trial, Goodness was there to help her gather all the treasures that came from it. Goodness was always excited about the Father’s expected end for her.
Through the years, their friendship grew. They followed her through every moment in her life, every joyous victory and every heart-wrenching tragedy. They were there and never left her side. And when her time had come to take her last breath, Goodness and Mercy escorted her to her heavenly home where she would live for eternity with these two heavenly servants and her heavenly Father.
Prayer: Father God, yes, I receive your Goodness and Mercy in the home of my heart. I open the door as wide as I can to you. Heal every wound and cause me to gather all the treasure after every trial I face. Until I take my last breath, be with me and be glorified in my life. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

This precious word made me cry!!
Praise God for this message, God is talking to me through this message and I can clearly see with my own eyes that he hears my prayers, I will never doubt him again, I hear what he’s saying to me, thanks to God for his grace and mercy, I haven’t heard his voice but he sends ppl to speak the word to me through scriptures, and Bible study. Thank you for this message it’s very inspiring to me.
A friend sent this link to me. All I can say is thank you.
I remember reading a book called. Deer on Hines feet about goodness mercy, And dismay and corruption. Very good book that teaches you about life and about what we fear to face or to step out of our comfort zones. How Jesus teaches you about places we should go letting you know your Never alone because of his Goodness and Mercy will always be with us. Excellent 📚 book to read. There’s nothing wrong with fear because it teaches us to be strong but when you live in fear it stops everything in your life. Do it with shaking and trembling. Like Peter when he step out of the boat and walk on water towards Jesus. But when he look at the storm instead of focusing on Jesus he sunk. Jesus replied, Oh you such little Faith why did you Doubt?. This has taught me to keep my mind focus on Jesus not my circumstances, storms etc. or allow corruption and dismay to distract me from what Jesus wants me to do. Awesome Book. 🦋
