Matthew Card in his book, Matthew, The Gospel of Identity
In the end, Jesus defines himself as the one who is with us. That is his identity and it gives birth to a new identity in us. We are now the ones who are not alone -- who will never -- can never be alone. In a world that seeks to isolate and discourage us -- they are the perfect words. They are the perfect words, if for no other reason than Jesus spoke them.
"And remember - I am with you always, to the end of the age" JESUS - Matthew 28
God has been with us -- during this time of being set apart -- or stuck at home -- in cabin fever terms --
God has been so near and WITH us. We have enjoyed listening to podcasts and discussing our thoughts and ideas.
People have texted or called at just the RIGHT time.
During this time our Grands have shared their insights and thoughts with us. This past Sunday night - sitting around our table hearing them share what they believe about Noah and the Flood, Creation, even their questions about Demons. It made our hearts soar as we heard their words and the faith that was growing in them. What a GOD - ordained time of blessing for us!!!
God has sent me children to teach to sew -- subbing days at just the right time -- friends who have shared their prayers.
I have loved spending time sewing and decorated the house to the max for the holidays. The more lights inside and out the better.
Years ago -- Jesus - the light of the world o- became my theme as I added strand after strand.
Having my man sitting beside me in services this past Sunday was a God-gift for sure!!!
