With You Always

How can I know that Jesus is always with me?

“Be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:20

“I know the Lord is always with me. I will not be shaken, for He is right beside me.” Psalm 16:8

Jesus promised to be with His followers forever. That happens through the Holy Spirit, who lives in those who believe. Thus, you can never be alone when you believe in Jesus; He will not abandon those He has created in love. He may allow certain trials to happen in our lives, but those are meant to mold our characters, not to destroy us. The Devil will try to pull down us down through these challenges because he aims for our downfall. But remember that God is aiming for the victory. And victory can only be found in Jesus! So, let us cling to Him, and believe that He is always with us.

“Do not be afraid, for I am with you.” Isaiah 43:5

The Lord answered him, “My precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints in the sand, it was then that I carried you.” (Image credit: michellelouiseharvey.blogspot.com)
