GOD IS ALWAYS WITH US
(even in despair and suffering)
OUR GOD is always
With us
Even in times of suffering
And times of despair
We all go through those times
In life
When we can't feel God
Much less see him
But I ASSURE YOU
That is when
He is especially near
“They mourned and wept and fasted
….....because they had fallen
By the sword” 2 Samuel 1-12
At certain times
In our life
Despair and suffering-seemingly-
Can crush us
The LOSS of a loved one
The breakup of a relationship
Illness or disability
Etc., etc., etc.,
I should know
I have been through it all
Just like you-
The times when we weren't sure
God even existed-
Much less walking beside us
As he always is
GOD IS always with us
God is-always near-always close
“The Lord is close
To the brokenhearted
And SAVES those
Who are crushed in spirit” Psalm 34:18
“ONE who has unreliable friends
Soon comes to ruin
But there is a friend
Who sticks CLOSER
Than a brother” Proverbs 18:24
And I should know
He never let me down
I SHOULD KNOW-
In 1978-I had just had
My third life and death operation
Within a year-and survived
Yet the medical profession
Had no answers-
And I had just lost my job
And a relationship-because of medical reasons
There was NO ONE in this world
Who could help me-EXCEPT for God
GOD directed me-guided me=he showed me
HOW to make a life through him-and-
DOING IT his way
And through family-and friends-and through churches
“GUIDE me
In your truth
And teach me
For you are
God my Savior
And my HOPE is in you
ALL DAY LONG” Psalm 25:5
“But when he
The SPIRIT OF TRUTH comes
He will guide you
Into the truth” John 16:13
He will NEVER abandon you-
Just like-he never abandoned his SON-
MY Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ
Just like
He never abandoned-
The GREAT SAINT Paul
“But he said to me,
'My GRACE is sufficient
For you
For my power
Is made PERFECT in weakness” 2 Corinthians 12:9
Just like
He never abandoned me
The good news is:
GOD IS ALWAYS WITH US
Even in periods of hardship
And intense suffering
God suffers
And mourns with us
We are never separated
From God-
In life-or in death
(Romans 8:38-39)
OUR GOD
IS ALWAYS WITH US
