Something Don’d on Me! (important)

“They will fight you, but they will fail. For I am with you, and I will take care of you.
 I, the Lord, have spoken!” -Jeremiah 1:19

 
It’s amazing to me how many times a simple child’s book or Disney movie says something small…but so profound. Christopher Robin and Winnie the Pooh are walking along, under branches lit up by the moon. And he casually says to Pooh, “Even if we’re apart, I’ll always be with you.”
 
If memory serves, Jesus said almost the same thing, but did it a couple thousand years before A.A. Milne. He told His friends that He was going to prepare a place for them. He said He was always with them. And He says it to you and I even today!
 
To the one that is worried about their kids and school…He is with you. To the one staring at divorce papers…He is with you. To the teacher that is overwhelmed and stressed and trying to figure it out…He is with you. To the Mom who thinks she’s not enough…He is with you. To the Man who is worried about his job…He is with you. To the couple preparing for marriage…to the senior that is not getting to play sports…to the one that is just fed up with all this madness and wants things “back to normal”…
He is with you.
 
THAT. IS. IMPORTANT! It is important to REMEMBER that! He IS with you! He will NEVER leave you! He will NEVER abandon you! “If ever there is a tomorrow when we’re not together… I am with you!”
 
Yes, things are crazy right now…and it feels like no one is DOING anything! You want to do something?? Do THAT! Do exactly what Christopher Robin said… “REMEMBER I AM WITH YOU!” Because it’s what Jesus is saying to you right now!
 
May HIS Peace Be Upon You…and May You Know HIS PRESENCE is with you!
Shalom, Don
