"…Lo, I am with you always…" — Matthew 28:20

The Lord Jesus Christ is in the midst of all His people; He will never leave us nor forsake us (Hebrews 13:5). And to empower us to fulfill His purpose, He has sent us the Holy Spirit — for Christ knows how vital it is that the Spirit abide in us. He is our Guide, our Advocate, our Comforter, our Provider, and our Teacher, always with us as He was with the earliest disciples whom He used mightily for His glory.

Of all the things in this world that can strengthen the heart, there is none like the presence of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. So let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith (Hebrews 12:2), and we will be led to the best place for us. When we are aware that Christ is with us and in us, every power is developed, every grace is strengthened, and we serve the Lord with our whole heart, soul, and strength.

We should desire the presence of Christ above all things, and we will truly receive the blessing of His abode. Remember, Jesus reveals Himself to our earnest prayer as we submit to Him — and He is with us always.

May you totally submit to the Lord, so that His love and blessings are fulfilled in you always. Amen!
