I’ve had to learn that Jesus is still here.
While at home one day, a friend came to my screen door.
“You there?” she called.
“Yes, still here,” I responded with a welcoming smile.
I am always glad to see my friends for coffee. Good friends in God are like diamonds: precious. After she left, I reflected. I am still here, and Jesus is still here for us also. For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. This well-known verse reminds me Jesus is still here. His love is precious, and we are all part of the circle of faith.
God loves each of His children. Our faith burns while this world of imperfect humans turns. But because Jesus is still here, not one of us wakes up alone. He is always at our side.
We can pray for God to comfort us with His promise of eternal life. In the meantime, we can aim to live our best Christian life. Our faith in God will keep us strong.
Sometimes life is complicated. But our prayers for each other and the world are more important than overreacting to catty clichés or dramatic prompts. Our peace is like the balm of God’s love. God’s love and our faith remind us that Jesus is still here.
What are some things that remind you Jesus is still here?
