[Jesus said] \u201cAnd surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.\u201d Matthew 28:20<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Jesus\u2019 love for us was so great that he came to earth, leaving his glorious heavenly home to live humbly among us. He came to take our place. He took upon himself the frightful burden of our sin and allowed it to crush him by a cruel death on the cross. Victoriously, he rose from the dead, proving he is the world\u2019s Savior. He did all this for us so we might live forever with God. Though our Savior has ascended into heaven, he has not left us. He promises that he will always be with us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His abiding presence is a great comfort. He knows the problems and hardships we face. He knows the difficulties we have as we strive to do his work on earth. That is why he assures us that he will never leave us alone. Jesus is the all-powerful God who is always present wherever we are, guiding and upholding us. He is with us in our homes, in hospitals, in schools, in churches, and in our workplaces. He is always present to continually strengthen, comfort, assure, and support us. Therefore, we can live confidently in the peace of the forgiveness of sins that we have through him, and we can work diligently to do his work of making disciples for him by sharing the gospel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jesus is with you; have no doubt about it. You can face today and the rest of all your days with the certainty that your Savior loves you and is leading you step by step closer to the last day when he will take you to be with him in heaven!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prayer: <\/strong>Lord God, I place myself into your care, confident in your promise to always be with me. Lead me through life, guarding me against all danger of soul and body, and sustaining my saving faith in Jesus. Amen.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
