KNOWING THAT HE IS ALWAYS THERE

KNOWING THAT HE IS ALWAYS THERE


We ALL go through
The DARK TIMES in life
Illness=financial difficulties=
And relationship PROBLEMS


EVEN a death
In the family


We NEED TO KNOW God is=
Jesus is=ALWAYS there
With us in life
Even in the dark times


“It had already grown dark-
And Jesus had not yet
COME to them” John 6:17


Because he was ALREADY there
And he is already HERE
With us-no matter
What we are going through


WHEN we find ourselves
In the dark times
We often FEEL
Like the DOUBTING disciples


Sitting in a boat
With the DARKNESS surrounding us


And WHERE is Jesus-nowhere
To be found


No-NOT RIGHT-we doubt-
We focus on the darkness


He is the LIGHT


We need to KNOW-he is right-
There with us-going through-
WHAT we are going through


NO-it is our perception-
Our “BLINDNESS” is keeping us
From finding him


He is OUR COMFORT and CONSOLATION-
We just need to LOOK for him=and
We will FIND him


“Yes-my SOUL-
FIND REST in God


My HOPE comes from him” Psalm 62:5


“I LOVE those
Who love me


And those who seek me
FIND ME” Proverbs 8:17


We just need to
TRUST in God-
Trust in Jesus


We need to KNOW
That he is ALWAYS right there
With us-just as he was
With the APOSTLES


“ASK=and it will
BE given to you


SEEK-and your will FIND
Knock-and-
The door will be OPENED
To you


For EVERYONE who asks-
RECEIVES-and to those
Who knock


The door will be OPENED” Matthew 7:7-8


Finding Jesus in the dark
REQUIRES FAITH


When we get to
The END of our journey
We will find


That he had been THERE
The WHOLE TIME-sitting right there-
In the CORNER of the boat


Dear Lord-dear Jesus=PLEASE give us
The FAITH-the courage-and the trust


To be
KNOWING that you are ALWAYS THERE
With us


No matter what we are facing-
And how dark the day is


YOU ARE OUR LIGHT


In Jesus' name
