Never Alone, Always Loved.

Today, I prayed, you would experience God's presence and his everlasting love for you. Remember God loves you dearly and nothing you could do will change that.

"My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest" (Ex. 33:14).
"I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with loving-kindness" (Jer. 31:3).

One young student, a Generation Xer, wrote openly of his final recognition of need and his honest cry for help: "Now—here is my secret: I tell it to you with an openness of heart that I doubt I shall ever achieve again, so I pray that you are in a quiet room as you hear these words. My secret is that I need Jesus —that I am sick and can no longer make it alone. I need Jesus to help me give, because I no longer seem to be capable of giving; to help me be kind, as I no longer seem capable of kindness; to help me love, as I seem beyond being able to love." (Douglas Coupland, Life After God, 1994)

Grace.
