"And surely I am with you always, even to the very end of the world." Matthew 28:20
Are you going through a sorrowful affliction?
What a Friend,
what a Brother,
what a Helper,
is Jesus!
Never—no never, does He leave His suffering child to travel that mournful night unvisited and unsoothed by His presence.
He is with you now!
His faithfulness never falters.
His love never changes.
His tenderness never lessens.
His patience never wearies.
His grace never decays.
His watchfulness never slumbers.
Jesus loves to visit us in the stormy night of affliction. He says,
"Do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with My righteous right hand!" Isaiah 41:10
The incarnate God delights to be near His helpless and timid children. He is near to you, as the strength of your sinking soul.
"Do not be afraid, for I have redeemed you.
I have called you by name; you are Mine!
When you go through deep waters, I will be with you.
When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown.
When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you. For I am the Lord, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior!" Isaiah 43:1-3
