Never Fear He is Here

Those The Lord is Holding in His Hands!
Those Who Live With The Inner Strength Greater Than Samson!

So 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

I was thinking about the future.
My future.
I was thinking about relationships and growing older.

I had just gotten off a training from work about how to give people critical feedback.
I came to the conclusion that to be able to give and receive the best critical feedback, is first based on a relationship,
Having a relationship with a person that we are giving or receiving the feedback from.
Then I heard on the radio a woman talking about how important it is to have people in our lives to tell us the truth.

In the past I had watched some study about what keeps us healthy.
According to them, it is having close relationships where we feel we have someone to count on this life.

All of it made me think about the relationships in my life.

I thought of my Aunt who lost her brother, her best friend in Vietnam.
She was never able to have kids but raised a niece.
That Her husband died around 20 years before she passed.
That she survived so many of her people and friends.

And I thought, God, what about people like her.
Those who invest in others, in close relationships but circumstances still intervene to change things.

And it made me ever so grateful for God’s gifting of Jesus.

Because my help came from Him.
To make me God’s child again.
A gift that I could never attain in my own right.
And that He actually came down to call me, to show me this, His perfect way and His wonderful love, calling to me, until I listened.

And His gift, His sacrifice, gives me the Holy Spirit, His Very Spirit, His Very Presence to Live with Me.
So that no matter whether we have the close relationships all the time in this life, or suffer gaps of isolation and trials, we literally have Him living inside us.

That we have His help inside us daily and nightly.

That we have the one who loves us more than the width and breath of the galaxies and beyond, right here to be our help, to speak life into us when we are down, to speak truth to us when we are headed the wrong way, to comfort us at any moment, and fill us with the never fading always present, unconditional value and worth giving love, from our Father, and our self-sacrificing Savior, in the offering of the Holy Spirit.

May we know that we know that we know no matter who is or isn’t in our lives today or tomorrow, we can have Him with us, inside us, strengthening us, helping us, upholding us, all day every day, and all night every night, until we see our beautiful Savior face to face.
