From Matthew 28:20, Christ is speaking to the eleven disciples at Galilee following the Resurrection: “. . . And remember I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
Do you have a favorite Bible verse that has stuck with you this week? You are invited to share it in the comments. May God bless each of you in the coming days.
Walking down an empty sidewalk all alone
Feeling lost when no one calls his phone
Facing the final sunset of a life
Remembering past sinful strife
Rubbing together his chilly, worn hands
Warming a cold heart of a humbled man
Recalling a strong home built brick by brick
Wiping away tears when she became sick
Losing his loving bride to illness
Asking, “Why God, is this meant?”
Battling the raging, turbulent cosmic powers
Creating lonely darkness that sadly towers
Living without a daily dose of hope
Trying to understand his life’s scope
Reciting scripture as Christ says, “I am with you”
Witnessing the bloody Cross, coming into view
Testing his faith, builds continued endurance
Removing sinful chains at every occurrence
Loving us, God guards our hearts and minds
Smiling, the old man knows he has more time
Bringing Salvation, our Savior conquers the Cross
Blessing another life, this man no longer feels lost
