Your Question:

Why is this happening to me when I've been a good person?

Answer:

This question is not about God's goodness, but about our own goodness. When we feel bad about ourselves, it can lead to envy, pride, and a sense of inadequacy. We may feel that we are not good enough, and that others are better than us. This can lead to a sense of competition and comparison, where we try to pull others down in order to feel better about ourselves. This is not the way of the good person, but rather a sign of our own pride and arrogance.

The Bible teaches that we are all born with a natural inclination towards sin and selfishness. This is not because we are inherently bad, but because we are born with a sinful nature. We may try to be good, but our natural self is starved and hampered by our own weaknesses and anxieties. This is why we often feel down, and why the enemy whispers to us to give in to temptation. We may try to be good for the sake of goodness, but our natural self will always rebel against this. We need to recognize our own sinfulness and ask for God's help to overcome it.

The good news is that God is working in us, even when we don't feel good about ourselves. When we invite Jesus into our hearts, we are not automatically good. We still struggle with our own weaknesses and sinfulness. But God is able to show us what we are like, and help us to become good people. We need to be honest with ourselves, and ask God to reveal our hearts to us. We need to repent of our sinfulness, and ask for God's help to overcome it. This is the way of the good person, who is not trying to be good for the sake of goodness, but rather because God is working in them to make them good.
