Divine Goodness; unveiling the heart of God

The statement "God is good" is a common refrain within spiritual circles, yet it's a concept that can be difficult to fully grasp and reconcile with times of hardship, conflicts, and challenges. Why do 'bad' things happen to 'good' people? Is another challenging concept.
