Dear Friends,
This reminds me of a joke Pastor Mike likes to tell. It’s the story of an old farmer and his wife sitting in front of the pickup truck as it barrels down the road. He’s driving, as usual, and she’s sitting on the passenger side next to the door. After moments of silence, she sighs and says to her husband, “remember how we used to sit next to each other in this truck. You couldn’t get a piece of paper between us we were so close.” He turns and says, “I ain’t moved”. Our relationship with our Heavenly Father is the most important relationship in our lives. Make time to be with Him every day. He’s always waiting to hear from you. Read on for words of encouragement. Peace and Love!

I Am With You And For You, your constant Companion and Provider. The question is whether you are with Me and for Me. Though I never leave you, you can essentially “leave” Me by ignoring Me: thinking or acting as if I am not with you. When you feel distance in our relationship, you know where the problem lies. My Love for you is constant; I am the same yesterday, today and forever. It is you who change like shifting sand, letting circumstances toss you this way and that.
When you feel far from Me, whisper My Name. This simple act, done in childlike faith, opens your heart to My Presence. Speak to Me in love-tones; prepare to receive My Love, which flows eternally from the cross. I am delighted when you open yourself to My loving Presence.
Genesis 28:15 I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.
Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, and today and forever.
