Promise of God

Over the past few days I have spoken with several people who were facing various circumstances in their lives.  A few of these needs ranged from a family that was facing the death of a loved one; a person who was waiting on a Doctor's report for a loved one; a person who was thankful that God had provided a job for them; and a person who was seeking to strengthen their relationship with God.  I assume that many other Ministers see many of these same situations over a period of time yet we we able to encourage these people because of the Promises of God. 

One of these promises is found in the opening story line of the birth of Christ.  One of the names of Christ is "Emmanuel"; this name reminds us that God is with us.  We can understand that regardless of the circumstances that we are facing that we are NEVER ALONE!  We can rejoice in the fact that God is with us and that His love is present to strengthen us as we face those challenges.  Have you ever felt the enemy seeking to make you feel alone or forgotten?  Have you ever felt the enemy seeking to make you feel that your life was unimportant and that no one cared about your existence?  Have you ever felt the enemy seeking to make you feel that you would not be missed if you chose to take your own life and remove yourself from the lives of your friends and family?  Each of these attacks of the enemy seek to drive you away from the knowledge of the presence of God.  But take hope today that nothing can separate you from the love of God.  God loves you regardless of what you are facing today!

There are readers of this blog who need to know and remember that God possesses great love for you.  He loves you more than you or I can even realize and He releases that love as we take the time to identify His presence.  Walk in the strength of His love today!
