Ezekiel 37: 12, 14

The Little Chapter from Morning Prayer speaks a bit to my ongoing struggle with the hope for universal salvation. The whole passage speaks to the question, but two lines really go there for me:
Thus says the Lord God: O my people, I will open your graves and have you rise from them, and bring you back to the land of Israel . . . thus you shall know that I am the Lord. I have promised and I shall do it, says the Lord.
I am particularly grateful for that last bit, "I have promised and I shall do it, says the Lord."
