“And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

Matthew 28:20

One thing God never promised is that our lives would be perfect, our health a non-issue, or that we would not have heartbreaks along the way. There is good news, though, really good news in the eternal promise of Jesus, “I am with you always, to the end of the age.” When life becomes a challenge, when you feel you no longer have a voice or if you feel like you are invisible to the world around you, remember the promise Jesus has made to you, “I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” That is a long, long time. Seasons change and the world may become more complex, things happen that make no sense and you feel like there is no place to turn, remember the promise of Jesus; “I am with you always, to the end of the age.” When you have given all you can and you are physically and emotionally drained, remember the promise of Jesus, “I am with you always, to the end of the age.” The same power that created the heavens and the earth is sustaining you, no matter who you are, what you look like, where you came from, or no matter the circumstance your path has led you. You are loved, so profoundly loved that God offered his only Son for you and all that is needed is for you to turn and see the reality of God through Jesus alive and well with you with every step that you take. Jesus is with you in the good times and in the bad times, and every time in between. You are blessed today, especially today because you are especially loved by the One who has promised to be “with you always, even to the end of the age.”  Thank you Jesus!
