Always
August 6, 2012

I love the words always and never. They hold so much hope! I would like to think that I could always be happy and that life would never fail me. But reality says that I won’t always be happy and that the things I hope would never happen just might. So, as good as these words sound, they struggle to live up to their potential—unless you are thinking about the promise of Jesus’ presence.

To a group of troubled disciples who feared facing life on their own Jesus said, “I am with you always” (Matt. 28:20). The writer to the Hebrews reminds us that Jesus said, “‘I will never leave you nor forsake you.’ So we may boldly say: ‘The Lord is my helper; I will not fear’” (Heb. 13:5-6). And the apostle Paul assures believers that after death, “We shall always be with the Lord” (1 Thess. 4:17). How encouraging!

No matter how scary our journey may feel today or how hopeless our future may look, the assurance of His never-failing presence can provide us with the courage and comfort to make it through. And best of all, when this short life is over, we will always be with Him. No wonder Paul encourages us to “comfort one another with these words” (v.18).

Jesus said He’s always with us,
He will never leave our side;
Someday we’ll be in His presence
Where forever we’ll abide. —Sper

Confidence in God’s presence is our comfort.

Read: 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18

We shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words. —1 Thessalonians. 4:17-18

Bible in a Year:
Isaiah 31-33

~Happy Monday To Amy's Place~

Hummingsbirds

Rainbow colors adrift
upon a wee glittering bird
In flight so swift
scarce a humming is heard

Into the trumpet vine
she dips in a dash
slender bill to devour
nectar drink in a flash

Out like a space ship
jewel bright in the sun
skyward she skips
the journey not done

Away to a cup nest
of spider web and down
hidden in a jade green
beautiful gown

Guarded for a fortnight
are two pearly eggs, white
Then on a summer's day
tiny birds soar in flight

Ever darting again
as little shooting stars
off to feast on silken seed
where lilies are

  THE HUMMINGBIRD

the hummingbird is oh so small, he's almost not a bird at all
a ruby throat and long thin bill for drinking nectar to his fill
he twice a day, my window buzz but I don't ask him where he wuzz
and he wont tell me just becuzz it's not my business what he duzz.  

[MEG33]

Thank you, (((Kitty)))
