"If a man or woman were under the broad water, if he might have sight of God so as God is with a man continually, he should be safe in body and soul, and take no harm: and overpassing, he should have more solace and comfort than all this world can tell."
Julian of Norwich (Ch. 10)
He is with us at all times, in all places, in all situations. We don't always realize or become aware of this, but He is truly here with us continually. He is not just with us on the outside, all around us. He is also with us on the inside, all within us. In the darkest of moments, at the lowest point in our life, He is still in us, with us, sheltering us, helping us, holding us. This will never ever change. He will never stop being there in us and for us. If we could only see how completely and continually He is with us, no matter what, we would realize how truly safe we are at all times, and we would know the deepest comfort and security that we could feel. The beautiful thing is that He is always working to open our eyes to see it, to see Him right before us, right with us, to see the One who has our back and supports us at all times. We never face this world alone! We are safe in His arms at all times!
"I can never be lost to your Spirit! I can never get away from my God! If I go up to heaven, You are there; if I go down to the place of the dead, You are there. If I ride the morning winds to the farthest oceans, even there Your hand will guide me, Your strength will support me."
Psalm 139:7-10 (TLB)
A Prayer: Thank You for being here with me!
