He Is….

For a moment, let’s think about the many times God was with us this year. He was with families as they watched their children graduate from high school, and held hands with all of us who had a loved one go to heaven because their room was ready. He was in our midst when a job was secured, and also when one was lost. He remains with congregations who were forced to close church buildings, yet is with every ministry that will be born in His name.

He is the head of our planet’s household. I’m so glad, for a God who welcomes everyone into His family. My Lord, Jesus Christ does not instruct you to kill non-believers, yet tells you to love one another as in John 13:34. He does not condemn those who mock the Bible, He offers His words to their hearts. He did not invent religion, yet He created faith. He does not discriminate, as He made us all in His image, Genesis 1:27. He acknowledges those who claim to be atheists, even as He surrounds them with evidence of His existence and presence. He forgives those who trespass against Him and His children. He dwells in the minds of those who are ill and cannot speak. He protects the weakened from satan’s cowardly attacks. 

He remains in the homes of the weary and worried. He steadies the hands of every surgeon. He inspires each one of us to help, not hinder, to love and forgive, and not to hate and destroy. He cries when we destroy each other. He gave us all the freewill to believe in Him, or to foolishly reject His love and walk away. He owns all time, and has enough of it to wait patiently for us to allow Him into our hearts and our world. Although He died, He is alive, 2 Corinthians 13:4. He is not imaginary, God is real. God’s not dead, and He is calling, waiting for your answer to accept His invitation to come to Him. Jesus left to be with the Father, but He Is, coming back. John 14:28 NIV “ You heard me say, ‘I am going away and I am coming back to you’. If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I”.
