Good Morning!! Jesus is as real today, as He was when He walked on this earth. Even though He doesn't move among us physically, Christ is a continuous, living presence through the Holy Spirit. That can be a terrifying thought when we don't like ourselves, or are contemplating the bad things we have done. Insecurity and sin can create a sense of fear, awkwardness, and clumsiness in His presence.
"I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you."—John 14:18 (KJV)
But it helps to think of what we know about our Lord from scripture. Romans 5:8 and 8:35-39 tell us that the Lord loves us. John 14:18 and Hebrews 13:5 talk about how Christ will never leave us or forsake us. In Matthew 11:28, Christ invites us to spend time with him. And 1 Samuel 16:7 and Luke 24:38 remind us that the Lord looks at our hearts.
We can all take comfort in knowing that Christ loves us unconditionally,
...and will never leave us.
Dear Lord, thank You for sharing our worries, and cares,...and for standing beside us to comfort and guide us, always. Amen.
"Letting go of earthly possessions, enables us to take hold of heavenly treasures."
