"When We Believe What The Words Are Saying...."

John Whittier wrote "God is. And all is well." Quite a large statement for so few words don't you think? I like to take quotes such as this and use them in my work but there's more to it than just that. I like to understand their meaning as I find it important to be able to take words and make them applicable to my own life whenever I can. For this quote, the words weren't very difficult to understand, simple in their meaning, yet the message the words are sending is enormous....if we let it be.

I've recently found myself at the end of another road and needing to discover the next path on my journey through life. One job finished and I need to discover where I'm needed next. Being out of work can be very overwhelming, lots of questions as to what should be done next, is enough being done and where will I end up? Mix into this all the other parts of life that continue to go on and it can create a time of challenge and uncertainty. That's where these words, for me, have the most meaning. "God is. And all is Well."

My faith is such that the "God is" part is not hard to grasp and believe. God is in everything we do, leading us to new opportunities and providing support during the time it takes to get us there. "All is well."....Now there's a tough one to swallow. When I first read this quote, I separated the phrases, feeling that they had two messages but they really don't. Because God is, we can believe that all is well and will be well. Does the quote say "it's going to be easy....sit back and relax, things will come together"? No, they don't say that. But they offer a simple promise that because God is involved, it will all work out.....in his time. I've got to do the leg work, being wise to the choices I make and open to new opportunities, even if there is some fear with this. In the end, as part of God's plan for my life, it will all work out and all will be well.

"God is. And all is well." I can understand this, fell it and yes, believe it. After all, it's worked out up to this point hasn't it?

Hope you enjoy! Until next time.
