It's All Good

I was talking to the receptionist at the doctor’s office the other day when a country sign behind the desk caught my eye.

“It’s All Good,” it read, and it made me feel warm inside.


When I asked the receptionist about it, she smiled and told me the story. “Oh, that’s what our doctor always says. And last year, at the craft festival, one of our staff found it and knew she had to buy it for our office.”

I liked that, a doctor with an “It’s All Good” motto. That should keep things cheery around the office right? I’ve heard other people use this phrase when they're talking about the trials of life. It kind of adds a positive spin on things and always lifts me up a bit.

It is indeed all good in God. Sometimes we don't like it, sometimes we are impatient for it to be over already, sometimes it just isn't what we would have chosen. Sometimes it hurts and sometimes it seems that we won't survive it. Sometimes it makes us angry, but there is always hope in HIM. And, you know, each time the Lord allows us to make it through these times and we see His handprints/fingerprints all over the situation when we look back, our faith grows. If we never had to go through situations that are definitely not good, we would be much weaker spiritually. And so we can say with confidence, it IS good in HIM...all of it :O)
