“EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE”

For about 20 years, this has been a silent promise that showed up and continues to show up loudly in all my affairs. Every time I worry, every time I despair, even when it’s a temptation lurking within the recesses of my mind, I hear this still small voice, “everything will be fine.”
Sometimes I let the chaos in. I wonder. I try with limited human understanding to trace how the things I’ve seen, the things I have hoped for, waited for, believed for, decreed will come to be…
It makes no sense how it will happen, yet, I hear again without blame, without accusation for not believeing even when His words have come to pass for the over 1,040,601,600 seconds that I’ve had life… “Everything will be fine”. On some days, I say Lord, I just desire to know what you’re saying about this 👀. What is your word? I’ll be fine with your verdict… He gently leads my heart to remember all the times He said to me, “everything will be fine.”
I sigh.
Sometimes, I think that’s too simple for the gravity of the weights. Here is a reminder for you as much as it is for me: God has spoken a million times over. Truly, if you have His word for your life, if you know His words to you, you can trust Him. The gravity of any weight is inconsequential where God is involved. It doesn’t matter at all.
Nothing has ever caught Him off guard. He makes all things beautiful. He made you beautiful and He is by your side to bring His words to pass.
Hold on to what you have received.

With love,
Ruth.

The very first novel I bought ‘unprovoked’ was ‘Listen to the Child.’ I was under 13, in a motor-park headed for either a UNICEF Zone A Children’s Parliament meeting in Enugu or the National Children’s Parliament meeting in Abuja.
Somehow, I missed the “SuperRomance” I just confirmed was boldly written on the cover and thought that simply put, this was a book about listening to children. From a relatively young age, I had this unshakeable knowing that it was very important to listen to the child…
📕
I grew up very introverted. I was more observant than outspoken. I considered the events in every day life more thoroughly than an average person would have. I lived deeply (introspected a lot) and was not in a hurry to draw conclusions (till this day; I’m rarely a jump to conclusion person). My thoughts were usually well formed because I let them marinate and pass through the thoughtfulness and wisdom filter…

Even though I learned of and experienced the strength, virtue and power in my words written or spoken, I moved through a dominant culture that was quick to dismiss the voice, presence, sometimes essence of a child (worst still if you’re a girl child) especially in this part of the world.
I also had my share of being bullied as a child. I wasn’t physically harmed but I was psychologically inflicted.

So, I learned. I learned how to carry the burden of silence: holding pain, belief and wisdom to myself. I experienced it cripple some of the best parts of my being…
I have been on this seeming life-long journey of letting light and love do its work in me & while I keep surrendering, I share these today because I resonate profoundly with the 2025 Children’s Day theme:Stand Up, Speak Up: Building a Bullying - Free Generation.

Children bully children. Adults bully children. Some traditions are set up against children. Some “fun” jokes we make at the expense of a child’s sense of freedom, love and safety are rooted in unc bullying.

Bullied children could bully others. Bullied children can become the problem in society. Building a love-led approach to relating with children starts with me. I hope this is a resolution for you too
