I have a question for all of you that read this message; is the Lord Jesus with you?
We all have our share of difficulties; Pauline and I had our share of problems in our marriage and with our children. We still have little differences in these areas and I expect most of you do as well.
Another area that has been difficult at times in our life was in the area of finances. One of the main reasons for some of this was because I was not a good steward and I went into debt buying things I could not afford and didn’t even need.
Like many of you I had my share of problems and disappointments with the church and the church leaders and how they abused their positions and I realized I abused my position as well in the church and in the home.
Pauline and I have had some problems with sickness through the years and like you we have had to work our way through the pain and suffering that entails.
Back to the main question; was the Lord Jesus with us?
Yes, He was with us all the way. He resurrected our marriage, and continued dealing with us day after day. He watched over our children every day and let them go through whatever they needed to learn, and He is still doing that. In my finances He was there all the time and He could have done a miracle but He taught me instead even though it felt like a mountain on my back for several years; I made it because He was with me.
The church thing, He was in that too! He showed me we are all human and make bad mistakes, and that I was self-righteous and judgmental but He never left me.
There were times when I would question; ‘Lord; where are you?
At the present time Pauline is going through her cancer treatments; a miracle would be nice, but it seems we have to walk this through, but we are not alone. Jesus is with us just like he has been for many years, He will never leave us or forsake us..
Is the Lord with you? I am sure He is, no matter what your situation. He will never leave you or forsake you!
