HE IS WITH US

“Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”

Matthew 28:20 KJV

No matter how many trials, heartaches and valleys we have, Jesus is with us.  He told us that He is with us.  There are times when we get discouraged and think we can’t go on.  Jesus understands how we feel because He got discouraged and being human, I’m sure there were times when He felt like giving up.

What a healing balm it is to our weary battle scarred heart to know that Jesus not only loves us, He also understands and cares when we are hurting.  If we will listen with our heart, we will hear Him say to us “I love you so much I died for you”.  We can trust Jesus to never leave us, not even for a minute.

We should do all we can do to make Jesus happy after all He has done for us.  What makes Jesus happy?  We make Jesus happy by loving one another unconditionally, by being kind and also forgiving those who hurt us.  Jesus forgives us when we hurt Him so we should forgive those who hurt us.

Heavenly Father, please help us to be kind and loving to one another.  I pray for every pastor who is preaching the love of Jesus.  Please comfort and encourage them and let them know how much You love them and appreciate their service to You.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
