That Great Deed ordained . . . by which our Lord God shall make all things well.<\/p>\n<p>Our good Lord said: &#8216;All things shall be well&#8217;; and another time he said: &#8216;Thou shalt see thyself that all MANNER of things shall be well.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>He willeth we know that not only He taketh heed to noble things and to great, but also to little and to small, to low and to simple, to one and to other. And so meaneth He in that He saith: &#8216;ALL MANNER OF THINGS shall be well.&#8217; For He willeth we know that the least thing shall not be forgotten.<\/p>\n<p>For like as the blissful Trinity made all things of nothing, right so the same blessed Trinity shall make well all that is not well.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 &#8212;<\/em>Julian of Norwich,\u00a01342c.-1416<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/godslovewins.com\/blog\/all-is-well-all-manner-of-things-shall-be-well\/product_56_border-2\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2669\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2669\" title=\"product_56_border\" src=\"http:\/\/godslovewins.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/product_56_border1-204x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"204\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/godslovewins.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/product_56_border1-204x300.png 204w, https:\/\/godslovewins.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/product_56_border1.png 245w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 204px) 100vw, 204px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>(To order Calligraphy Poster by Michael Noyes click <a href=\"http:\/\/www.michaelnoyes.com\/gifts\/religious\/christian\/julian-of-norwich-all-shall-be-well\">HERE<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>On this same theme check out this song by singer, composer, and writer Andrew Peterson entitled &#8220;All Shall Be Well&#8221;:<\/p>\n<p>We touched down on the sound<br \/>\nAt the top of the world<br \/>\nIn the land of the midnight sun<br \/>\nWhere the frozen river melts away<br \/>\nAnd breaks into a run<br \/>\nInto the sea, into the mighty waves<br \/>\nThat waited just to see it<br \/>\nFrom a long way off that river thawed<br \/>\nAnd the tide ran out to meet it<br \/>\n\u201cWelcome home, unfrozen river, welcome home\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Cause all shall be well, all shall be well<br \/>\nBreak the chains of the gates of Hell<br \/>\nStill all manner of things will be well<\/p>\n<p>See the quiet hearts of the children of<br \/>\nThe children of this land<br \/>\nThey have stayed alive in the day-long night<br \/>\nBy the fires that warm their hands<br \/>\nThere is a wilderness inside them<br \/>\nIt is dark and thick and deep<br \/>\nAnd beside the fire at the heart of that wood<br \/>\nIs a precious missing sheep<br \/>\nSo go on in, hold your torch, let it shine<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Cause all shall be well, all shall be well<br \/>\nBreak the chains of the gates of Hell<br \/>\nStill all manner of things will be well<br \/>\nAll shall be well, all shall be well<br \/>\nThe Word of God will never fail<br \/>\nAnd all manner of things will be well<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a light in the darkness<br \/>\nThere\u2019s an end to the night<\/p>\n<p>I saw the sun go down on a frozen ocean<br \/>\nAs the man in the moon was rising<br \/>\nAnd he rode the night all full and bright<br \/>\nWith his face at the far horizon<br \/>\nAnd the night can be so long, so long<br \/>\nYou think you\u2019ll never get up again<br \/>\nBut listen now, it\u2019s a mighty cloud of<br \/>\nWitnesses around you\u2014they say<br \/>\n\u201cHold on, just hold on<br \/>\nHold on to the end<br \/>\nAnd all shall be well\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;Andrew Peterson<\/p>\n<p>It appears that we gravitate to this Storyline of Ultimate Restoration and &#8220;all things new.&#8221; The hope of Shalom is clearly written on our hearts and seeps out through the cracks of our souls and is celebrated through the avenue of music.
