Matthew 28:20
“Lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
This Word is to you who, by the grace of God, are His child.
You have an unseen friend near you wherever you go. He loves you so much that He gave His life for you. He has all power; He is never helpless. No one can frustrate His plans. He never grows weary.
He lives with you, feels with you, rejoices with you, grieves with you, and suffers with you. He shares your struggles, both when you pray and when you are tempted.
He says to us today: “Lo, I am with you!”
Do you see Him in your daily life? In the realm of the Spirit we cannot see with our physical eyes. But the Scriptures tell us that God’s children received spiritual eyes, eyes of the heart, with which to perceive the spiritual realities all around them. A servant of one of the prophets was also permitted for a moment to behold the spiritual realities which surrounded him. He saw horses and chariots of fire. It calmed his spirit and made his heart glad.
You, too, should pray that you might see this as you go about your tasks from day to day feeling lonesome, restless, anxious, and unhappy.
“Lo, I am with you always.”
Some days are unusually hard. So many things can darken our lives. The hardest of all is to feel that we are far away from our heavenly Friend.
At such a time remember the word of Jesus: “Always.”
He is never closer to you than when you feel lonely and heavy of heart. Tell Him how you feel. And pray that the eyes of your heart may be opened so that you see Him.
“The world may seek and love its own;
I love my Jesus, Him alone.”
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD
