Really?

Is God Really ALWAYS with You?

The answer is yes. God is really always with us, and nothing will change that. The presence of God in the midst of his people is unlike anything else that you will see in other religions. There, there is a different relationship with their gods.

For us, our God became a human being, Jesus. He lived with us. He died for us. He gives us his Holy Spirit. So we are never ever without our God. He will never ever leave us or forsake us. He will never ever abandon us. He promised to always be with us and we can be sure and certain of that wonderful hope.

Not only is he with us, but he cares for us and loves us. He will always provide us with all that we need to support our bodies and lives. And he gives to us a life with him that will never end. He is present as we read his word. He is present as we receive his body and blood in communion. He is present as we serve others. He is present as we spend time with his people and grow in love with them.

To be sure, there are times when it does not feel like God is around. Or we ask, "If God is here, why is he allowing this to happen?" And yet, even in the face of the most awful things we can imagine, our God does not leave us alone. He will not always let us in on why he is allowing the things to happen in our lives that are happening. But he will never abandon us or forget us because of them. Check out Romans 8.

May you always find comfort, strength and joy in the good news that are God is really and truly always with us.

God's peace in Jesus.
