EVERY MINUTE

"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
King James Version

It doesn't matter what time of the day or night it is because Jesus is with us all of the time. We sometimes leave Him but He never leaves us.

A husband and wife were taking a trip and while driving down the highway the wife said to her husband "We don't sit next to each other any more". The husband replied "I haven't moved". The husband always drove so he hadn't moved.

That is how we are with Jesus. He hasn't moved. We are the ones who move and leave Him. If you have wandered away from Jesus, go home to Him because He is waiting for you to come home to Him with His arms open wide to give you a big hug.

Will L. Thompson wrote the beautiful hymn "Softly and Tenderly". I'm so glad the words in this hymn are true.
"Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling, Calling for you and for me;
See, on the portals He’s waiting and watching, Watching for you and for me.
Come home, come home, You who are weary, come home; Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling, Calling, O sinner, come home!"

If you have wandered away from Jesus, go home to Him because He is waiting for you to come back to Him with His arms open wide and a heart full of unconditional love for you.
