Always With Me
The longer I live, the more confident I am that the Lord meant it when God said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.”
He was with me when I was young and suffered losses in my family that did not make sense.
He was with me as a young man when I made decisions about marriage and ministry.
When I became a dad and wondered if I was up for the task, He was with me.
Through my successes and all my failures, He has been with me and has never forsaken me.
He has always been with me. He has never forsaken me.
I do not recall when I did not sense His presence or doubted His active involvement in my life. But, oh, there are times when I do not understand His ways. There were, and still are, times when I question the path and where it might lead. There are days when I wonder how much more I can handle, but then He does something, I read something, or some unexpected blessing appears seemingly out of nowhere, and I see that He is with me.
Now, as I walk through this darkest of valleys with my family, I know He is with me. He is with us. He will help us. He will give us strength to endure the days and make it through the long, difficult nights. He is with us, He has always been with us, and He will always be with us.
I don’t know why, and I don’t know how, but I know He is with us and will make His presence known. Of this, I am convinced.
