April 8 Devotional

Dear Friends,
These are beautiful words and reassuring that Christ will never leave us or forsake us.  It also reminds me of Pastor Mike’s joke he’s told on a few occasions.  You remember it don’t you?  Old farmer in his beat up pick up truck, arm hanging out the driver’s window while his wife of many years sits across from him on the opposite side.  She sighs and says remember how we used to sit next to each other while driving down the road?  He replies “I ain’t moved!”  Be blessed!

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; Iam 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.
