God is With You

"God is with you in everything you do"* -- words so very true, words meant for me and you.  They're on a bookmark a friend sent us from afar, and I see this little gift in a book I read every day.

Whether it's day or night, whether we're at home or far away, whether we're feeling up and cheery, or downhearted and weary, what a faith-lighted thought this is, that our loving Father is never apart from us.

Is this not glorious to think about?  That His care does surround us.  Not only us, but those we love--beside them always, above.  And not only those we're close to, and friends we greet, but people on the other side of the world we may never meet.

What would mankind do if these words were not true?  But oh they are -- something which circumstances we encounter cannot erase.

God with us -- what a treasure, a comforting presence without measure.


*See Genesis 21:22
