I Am Always Available to You

I am always available to you. Once you have trusted Me as your Savior, I never distance Myself from you. Sometimes you may feel distant from Me. Recognize that as feeling; do not confuse it with reality. The Bible is full of My promises to be with you always. As I assured Jacob, when he was journeying away from home into unknown places, I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go. My last recorded promise to My followers was: Surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age. Let these assurances of My continual Presence fill you with Joy and Peace. No matter what you may lose in this life, you can never lose your relationship with Me.
“Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed,” says the Lord, who has compassion on you.- ISAIAH 54:10 
“I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.”- GENESIS 28:15 
“And teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”- MATTHEW 28:20

Today's message brings up a very good point I have not thought about. When we stray from God, I personally assume that we are distant from each other and that in order for our relationship to change we must come together again. Only half of this is true. We may distance ourselves away from God but He is never distant from us. God is with us and will watch over us always. He is our father and will protect us.

It is like a parent and a child. Everyone goes through the phase where the child says how they "hate their parents" and "do not want to talk to them", but that does not mean that the parent no longer loves their own offspring. Like our earthly parents, God will love us no matter what we say or where we stray. It is us moving away and creating distance between the relationship, not God. So, stay comforted by the fact that He will always be there no matter what. He is our father, He will watch over us.

When we feel alone and know we have strayed from God, we shall be comforted because He is there. Pray when you feel alone, God's presence will shine upon your life.
