All is Well

All Is Well-This will probably be a short blog. I had one half written but, this morning, I didn't feel to post it. Then, as I was scrambling for an idea to write about, I remembered that 
a little while ago I felt the Lord saying to me, "All Is Well". Considering that I have cancer on top of all my other physical issues, on the outside, nothing seems farther from the truth. However, on the inside where it really matters, I know "All Is Well".

"All Is Well" because I have the peace of God. Other "peace" depends on circumstances. When everything is going the way they want, people can be at peace but when adversity comes, their fragile peace is gone. But the peace of God which I have is different. It is a deep, inner tranquility, no matter what is going on the outside. At times, when my emotions are running wild, I lose that peace for a little while but it always comes back

"All Is Well " because I have hope. Nothing is impossible for God so, no matter if it is not possible for man. And no matter in what situation. That hope has carried me through many, many difficult times over the many years since my salvation and is helping me to cope with the cancer.

"All Is Well" because I am never alone. Jesus, through the Holy Spirit, is always with me, no matter where I am or how I am doing emotionally. He is with me at church but He is also with me at Long-term care or any other place I may be. He is with me when I am praising Him or reading the Bible but He is also with me when I am crying and having a meltdown. Even when I don't feel His presence, I know that He is with me.

"All Is Well" because God is in control. No matter what I am going through personally or what is going on in this world, everything will turn out the way God wants it to. One thing I know is that I would much rather have God control the future than any human!

Finally, and most important, "All Is Well" because I know that I am going to Heaven. Considering that I will be spending FOREVER in a place of no more pain or sorrow and endless peace, all my past and present hardships seem pretty insignificant.
