day 6- is it all good?

When we declare something good, it doesn’t mean it’s all good. There is a phrase that has been around for awhile that shows this.
“It’s all good.”

I wish I knew where this phrase originated. I want to know the situation in which the person spoke. Why? It’s not all good.

There are people who think of ways to destroy you and they don’t even know you. That’s not all good. There are people who you will come to trust who will betray you when you least expect it. That’s not all good. What can you do?

When we say, “It’s all good,” maybe we know deep down that it’s not all good but we say the words like some kind of magical chant in order to convince ourselves that it doesn’t matter. Yet, we know inside that it matters deeply. Even though Queen said, “Nothing really matters…” (Bohemian Rhapsody)— it does.

So what do we do? We become the kind of people who can care. When Jesus transforms us from the inside out, then we can see things through his eyes for the first time. Then, we don’t declare, “It’s all good,” but we can say with confidence, “There is hope and it starts with Jesus working through me.” Then the logical question becomes, “How do you live with a sense of reality and hope for the future?
