Nothing is more powerful than the promise of a parent, loved one, or friend that their presence and care is something we can count on no matter what. We need that type of assurance, we need that promise for without it we are left feeling alone and isolated
.
At this time of unprecedented upheaval and uproar, the words of our Lord that he shared at the end of his physical life here on earth with his disciples are words for us to hear over and over again. Our God is with us, our God stays with us, our God with never leave us or forsake us. It is a solid promise that we can rely on and trust.
Remember the name given to our Lord at birth? It was
Immanuel.
Know what that means and stands for? It means
God is with us.
God never intended to be separated from his creation, never has or will He forget what has been created. He is with us and will remain with us always.
Take this reality into whatever it is that you are facing today. By being silent hear his voice come to you and saying in words you can understand “I am here beside you. I will carry your burden with you. I will never leave you.” He may come in the form of a family member, a song, through the voice of a child or in a memory that suddenly comes to mind. He will come, He is with you.
Prayer:
Amen, come Lord Jesus come. Amen.
