Only God is ...
And the first Chapter of the Bible, Genesis, states that God said the light was good ...that the separation of the dry land and seas was good ...the vegetation was good ...and God defined exact lights in the heaven, as good ...and God said the birds in the air and the fish in the sea were good ...and God made the animals, which were good ...and God made man & woman, and blessed them ...and it was very good.
That is quite an abundance of good ...all in six days of Creation.
God created an existence for us ...where we could live & breathe, and thrive as long as we value His Word to us.
And I don't mean thriving within the world's standards ...which isn't really the world's, as this earth was created for us, to sustain us long enough for God to say that it's enough. We should strive and thrive upon our relationship with Him ...and we will be blessed, and that will be very good.
Though you may feel awkward with declining to join others with what you may feel uncomfortable participating in ...those same others can make you feel even more uncomfortable with your decision, calling you a goody goody or goody two shoes. People who attempt to do right, often are made fun of ...but, don't let that deter you from doing what you believe is right. And people who attempt to do right are also often those who are scrutinized at the highest level ...with others just waiting for them to make a mistake.
We all make mistakes.
Though amongst our failures ---if we can keep in mind that what He has for us, is not a mere choice steak at a restaurant, but came to us at a much higher cost (which He paid) ---we can receive the most choice existence. Sadly, if we don't choose to accept this most gracious and merciful offer ...the stakes become much higher.
Being offered something we know we don't really deserve, who would argue that ...that's not loving and good.
