I Am With You

As we begin another month, the quick passage of time, especially if we love summer, might leave us a bit uneasy. Yet, with the weather pattern the way it seems to be unfolding these past several years, "summer" the growing season, flowers, lawn cutting, could continue for another two months. We might liken ourselves to the Hebrews wandering in the desert with the cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night protecting them. God's presence is always with us, be it summer of the other three seasons. No need for "agida" in the gut. Rather, we have the assurance that God is always with us: "I will never leave your nor forsake you." A brief passage from God Calling (p.52)sums it up beautifully: There is no bond of union on earth to compare with the union between a soul that loves Me--and Me (says Jesus). Priceless beyond all earth's imaginings is that Friendship. In the merging of heart and mind and will, a oneness results that only those who experience it can even dimly realize. Let us begin this new month with that blessed assurance. Bro. Rene
