In previous generations he (the living God, the Creator of all things) allowed the nations to pursue their own ways, yet he has never left himself without clear evidence of his goodness. For he blesses us with rain from heaven and seasons of fruitful harvests, and he nourishes us with food to meet our needs. He satisfies our lives, and euphoria (the spirit of joy, an ecstasy that comes from God) fills our hearts. ~ Acts 14:16-17 (The Passion Translation)
