Not Losing Sight.

While I was taking the bread today during the Holy Communion, I was surprised to be reminded that 'God is with me'. I came across that sentence many times without really understanding it. The word , ' With' has the closest meaning to 'Alongside' or 'Together'. I thought I was enduring my weaknesses myself but I forgot He was enduring it with me. I forgot in all those times when I am struggling, He was there. It is a powerful thing to know that God is willing to be by your side no matter any conditions you are in even if you are really in bad situations. I also believe that it is us who always shuts God out of our lives. Not Him.
With the economics downfall , political instabilities and racial discrimination, it is normal to feel hopelessness and disappointments. Instant remedies such as finding a better-income job to obtain better security for prospect is just a one-length arm access to most of us and migrating to a more secured country seems to be a better option.
But We have God, aren't we? He is with us, isn't He? If apostles such as Paul who suffered greatly and yet wrote , 'To live is Christ and die is Gain.'. What more us? We are not supposed to live so comfortably actually. It is a blessing if we do. But I do hope that when we do live comfortably, please remember to have a single -minded goal ; that is God and His purpose ; To reconcile everything unto Him.
After all, worldly things are not permanent. What are you investing? Here or Home?
