Julian of Norwich provides some of the most powerful and comforting revelations of God's love in her Revelations of Divine Love. Several times she repeats powerful revelations that every creature will eventually be saved from the fires of hell. God is not only the Creator, the Divine caretaker of the universe but also the cosmic Redeemer and grand Designer and Restorer of all things. God desires all creation to find its rest in Him
Julian had difficulty reconciling this pervasive universalism with the teachings of the church. She held in tension and trusted both her revelations from God and the doctrines of the church that instructed her faith. She did not know how this all worked out or was to be reconciled, she put her trust in God who fully knows and will reconcile all things to Himself. Even the church must enter into a divine wrestling match with the Holy if it is to be blessed in the end.
