A Welcoming Place

Yesterday, a good friend told me, "Knowing that God is all-in-all makes the universe a welcoming place, not a frightening one."

I like that.

Beautiful, and I totally agree God is all and all, and I feel hopeful that it is a friendly universe in the long run.

Friendly does not necessarily always describe events, people, situations in this earthly existence. I don’t need to make a list.

However!! God / Love brings light out of darkness.

Here is an art metaphor: An artist drawing any subject must use dark to portray the light in the subject and vice versa. Shape is defined by dark and light. Values are all the shades in between dark and light.

It is said, that the biggest mistake amateur artists (like myself) make, is being afraid of the dark. The definition of amateur is French, from Latin amātor, lover, from amāre, to love. Where am I going with this? Heck I don’t know…

Peace

Keren, you always make me smile. "a friendly universe" - what a great thought. And I loved your rambling about light and dark and amateur as well. Don't stop!

As for the all-in-all musing, I'm seeing love infusing all of the world and universe. It's all that matters.

Anne you seem to understand me. This is a first for me in all of my circles. Consider that!

Or it could be you are just a little goofy side, like me!

Peace and love and muchas smoochas to Kevin, Carman, Marilyn Ruth, Erin, Jim ofcourse and all of the TLIO lovers!

This musing is great. (I like the word ¨pondering¨ too)

God is all-in-all = universe a welcoming place = friendly universe = love infusing all of the world and universe . . .

God is bigger than the universe = God is the universe = God created the universe = God is still creating the universe = love is still creating the universe = we are a small dot in the universe yet an important part of the plan (Jesus is evidence of that) = God is infinite past and infinite future = God has taken everything into consideration = in the vast infinity of the love God of the universe there is a love miracle for everything . . .
