English translation

God’s world is open to all God’s people.

Literal wording

God’s lands are for God’s creatures.

Meaning and lesson

The saying voices a decision to leave one’s own country and travel or settle elsewhere. It presents departure as possible, rather than as something the speaker must be prevented from doing.

It invokes the idea that every country belongs to God and is inhabited by God’s creatures. This thought can steady someone facing separation from their home by placing their destination within the same wider world.

When it is used

Used by someone who intends to travel, move away, or live outside their own country. It explains or affirms their freedom to go, while offering comfort about leaving familiar surroundings for another place.
