LO, I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS
"LO, I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS"
Jesus said, "Lo, I am with you always, even unto
the end." (Matthew 20:20). So, to
you who believe, it doesn''t matter how alone you
feel sometimes, you''re never truly
alone. For the Presence of God is in you wherever
you are. When the enemy tries to
hone in on your aloneness, just become still and
remember that GOD''S WORD
stands forever. For God is not a man that He
should lie. One writer wrote: "Nearer is
He than breathing, and closer than hands and
feet." Furthermore, how can we be
separate from our Source? When, in HIM we live,
and move, and have our very
being? Once you acknowledge this divine
connection, you need never feel separate
or isolated again.
President William Taft on leaving the Oval office
in 1913 said: "I''m glad to be going.
This is the loneliest place in the world." So you
could be in the most crowded place
in the world and still be lonely. But was Jesus
lonely when He spent forty days and
forty nights in the Wilderness? The Bible said
that He spent times alone, but there
was never any mention of Him being lonely, for He
was in constant communion with
the Father. For one of the most rewarding
experiences of life is to be alone...to be
still...to listen spiritually..and to meditate on
God''s Word. That''s a sure cure for
loneliness. The story is told of a man who fell
asleep while walking on a beach one
night. He dreamt he saw two sets of footprints and
believed that one was of God
Himself. But when he became fearful, he could see
only one set. Thinking he was
deserted, he cried out: "Why did you leave me?"
The voice replied: "I will never
leave you nor forsake you. When you saw only one
set of footprints; it was then that
I carried you!" So, when life presents its
un-exspected, insurmountable obstables -
remember..."LO, I''M WITH YOU ALWAYS - EVEN UNTO
THE END OF THE WORLD".
(JESUS)
