All-Mighty, All-Wise, All-Love

"Some of us believe that God is all-powerful and may do everything; and that He is all-wise and can do everything; but as for believing He is all-love and will do everything, there we hold back. In my view nothing hinders God's lovers more than the failure to understand this."

Julian of Norwich

"For God did not give us a spirit of timidity but rather a spirit of power and of love and of wisdom."

2 Timothy 1:7 (NCB)

Often we hear descriptions of God - that He is all-mighty (omnipotent), all-wise (omniscient), and all-present (omnipresent). And these are true. But it seems that in past times, the three descriptions of God were that He is all-mighty, all-wise, and all-love. And 2 Timothy tells us this exactly - that the Spirit given to us is all-mighty, all-wise and all-love. So we see that not only is God strong enough to help us, and wise enough to help us, but He is also loving enough to help us. It's because He is all-love that we can know for sure that all will be okay in the end, that this story has a happy ending. He will right all wrongs, heal all hurts, bring reconciliation in all situations, wipe away all sorrow, restore all that was lost, reverse all trauma, end all strife, bring all the children home, reunite all loved ones, eradicate all evil, and renew perfect innocence and love and harmony in all ways. He is all-powerful and able to do this, and He is all-wise and knows how to do this, and most wonderfully, He is all-love and WILL do this! Everything is going to be okay!

A Thought: He will make sure that all will be healed and whole and well, because He is ALL-love!

May the amazing grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the extravagant love of God, and the intimate friendship of the Holy Spirit be with all of you. 2 Co. 13:14
