Never Alone

Good Wednesday morning! I love Jesus! Some mornings I wake up early, other mornings not so much, but Jesus is always there. If I were to rise at just past midnight, I would not catch Jesus in his night cap, yawning, and wondering what in the world I am doing up so early. If one of us should need to call on our Lord late at night, we would not find him already gone to bed with a "See you in the morning!" sign on the bedroom door. If we awaken suddenly from a most frightening dream, we will not find him gone to check on someone else. Though we may be called on the carpet before the big boss, a simple prayer is all it takes to reach out to the One who never leaves or forsakes us. What a great Lord and friend we have in Jesus!

At times we may feel that Jesus is far away from us. How could our just and perfect Lord stand to be near all that sin? The sins of the world bore down upon our Lord as He died on the cross. Would it be even the slightest inconvenience for Him to stay near during our moments of sin? Certainly not! Disappointed though He might be in our actions, never will He leave us. Remember that the sin did not catch Jesus by surprise. If He wanted to forsake us, He could do it long before the sin arrived. The promise of Jesus to never leave nor forsake even one of us does not have exceptions. Look around, look up, seek forgiveness, cry out for mercy, our Lord Jesus is right here with you and me. Face the terrifying moments and cry out for strength and help from the Lord; he is there ready to lend His might and power.

In Christ we can truly say, "I am never alone!"
