Emmanuel, God is with us - Part 2

 EMMANUEL 

GOD is WITH US

Are we truly grasping this reality? Can our minds wrap around the FACT He is beside us and in us . . . always? Our wonderful God who loves us infinitely with outspread  arms ready to wrap them around us, who sings over us at night while we are sleeping, who calls us precious and never takes His eyes off of us or stops listening for our voices. The God who knows our name, who provides for us, protects us, dances with us in joy and comforts us  in sorrow . . .

 HE IS WITH US!

Let’s look at this from a different perspective:

As we drive to our work, run errands, shop –

 God is with us

As we brush our teeth, do the dishes, make the bed, fix the car, do the yard work –

 God is with us

As we care for our children, our aging parents, our sick loved ones –

 God is with us

As we walk the dog, clean the litter box, change a diaper –

God is with us

As we go give a hug, hold a hand, wipe a tear –

 God is with us

As we watch TV, look at a movie, listen to music, read a book, play a game –

God is with us

As we think a thought, speak a word, reach with our hand, react to others – 

God is with us

As we face our fears, bear our grief, feel overwhelmed, feel alone – 

God is with us

When others fail us and we are betrayed, hurt and in pain -
God is with us 

When we don't know which way to turn, there's no way out -
God is with us
 

Does this change:

What I look at?
   God is with me

What I listen to?
 God is with me

Where I choose to go?
 God is with me

How I react?
 God is with me

How I speak and what I say? 
 God is with me 

How I do my “jobs”?
 God is with me

How I rest in Him?  
 God is with me

GOD is WITH ME

EMMANUEL

Emmanuel, where You are is holy ground,

and You are HERE!
