I Am With You Always
"... and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” - Matthew 28:20 -
The Lord Jesus Christ is in the midst of His church.
His promise is, "And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
This is a blessed truth, for where Jesus is, love becomes inflamed.
The presence of Jesus sets the heart burning!
A glimpse of Him will overcome us.
A moment's leaning of the head upon His gracious bosom, and a reception of His divine love into our poor cold hearts, and we are cold no longer, and are capable of every suffering.
If we know that Jesus is with us, every power will be developed, and every grace will be strengthened.
We will cast ourselves into the Lord's service with heart, and soul, and strength.
The presence of the Lord Jesus Christ is to be desired above all things.
His presence will be most realized by those who are most like Him.
If we desire to see Jesus, we must grow in conformity to Him.
Let us bring ourselves, by the power of the Spirit, into union with Jesus' desires, and motives, and plans of action, and we are likely to be favored with His company.
Jesus delights to be with us.
If he does not come, it is because we hinder Him by our indifference.
He will reveal Himself to our earnest prayers.
He can be detained by our entreaties, and by our tears.
