NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE, I CAN PRETTY MUCH GUARANTEE THAT YOU HAVE MISSED SOMEONE AT ONE TIME OF YOUR LIFE OR ANOTHER. WE HAVE ALL BEEN CLOSE TO PEOPLE THROUGHOUT OUR LIVES WHO HAVE SOMEHOW DRIFTED AWAY FROM US. PEOPLE WE ONCE TALKED TO EVERY DAY SOMETIMES JUST GET ADDED TO OUR EMAIL LIST. A FRIEND WE ONCE THOUGHT WE COULD NOT LIVE WITHOUT MIGHT ONLY EXIST TODAY IN OUR MEMORIES. FAMILY MEMBERS WE ONCE LAUGHED AND JOKED WITH DAILY MIGHT ONLY BE SEEN OCCASIONALLY ON HOLIDAYS OR AT FAMILY REUNIONS.
A VERY CLOSE FRIEND OF MINE EMAILED ME YESTERDAY. SHE AND I ONCE SAW EACH OTHER ON A DAILY BASIS. WE WERE AT ONE TIME CLOSER THAN SISTERS AND HAVE BEEN THROUGH BOTH HAPPINESS AND SORROW TOGETHER. LIFE HAS CARRIED US OFF IN DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS AND SOME OF MY BEST MEMORIES INCLUDE THIS FRIEND. EARLIER THIS WEEK, I ALSO HEARD FROM ONE OF MY COUSINS. SHE AND I LITERALLY GREW UP TOGETHER. OUR PARENTS WERE INSEPERABLE AND SO WERE SHE AND I. WE NEVER WOULD HAVE EXPECTED TO ONE DAY INTERACT ONLY THROUGH FACEBOOK. IT IS TIMES LIKE THESE THAT I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT I MISS SOMEONE.
THIS BRINGS ME TO THE POINT OF MY "NOTE" TODAY. JUST AS WE BECOME LONESOME AND MISS THOSE THAT WE TRULY LOVE, OUR LORD AND SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST SURELY FEELS THE SAME WAY. WHEN WE SLACK OFF IN OUR PRAYER TIME, SKIP A FEW CHURCH SERVICES OR FORGET TO STUDY HIS WORD, WE GROW DISTANT FROM HIS LOVE AND FRIENDSHIP. JUST LIKE WE DO, JESUS HAS MEMORIES OF ALL OUR HAPPINESS AND SORROW. HE KNOWS OF EVERY HEARTACHE, EVERY SUCCESS AND EVERY MOMENT OF JOY THAT WE HAVE EXPERIENCED. HE HAS BEEN THERE WITH US THROUGH IT ALL. I HATE TO EVEN THINK OF THE SADNESS OUR BLESSED JESUS MUST FEEL WHEN WE SHUT HIM OUT OF OUR LIVES.
UNLIKE FRIENDS OR EVEN FAMILY MEMBERS, LIFE WILL NEVER CARRY JESUS AWAY FROM OUR PRESENCE. HE IS THERE FOR US NO MATTER WHAT, WHERE, WHEN, HOW OR WHY. EVEN ON OUR LONELIEST NIGHT OR OUR DARKEST HOUR, JESUS WILL NEVER LEAVE OUR SIDE. HE PATIENTLY WAITS FOR US TO REALIZE HIS PRESENCE AND TO ACCEPT HIS EVERLASTING LOVE. NOTHING WE DO CAN POSSIBLY CAUSE HIM TO TURN HIS BACK ON US OR PUSH US TO THE SIDE. ONLY JESUS WILL NEVER LEAVE US OR FORSAKE US. HIS ARMS OF PROTECTION AND HIS ENDLESS MERCY ARE ETERNALLY AVAILABLE. HE TRULY MISSES US WHEN WE LEAVE HIS SIDE.
I AM SO GRATEFUL TO HAVE THE LORD IN MY LIFE TODAY. HIS PRESENCE IN MY LIFE HAS CHANGED EVERYTHING. I SAW YESTERDAY THAT SOMEONE HAD WRITTEN, "IF YOU KNEW WHERE I HAVE BEEN AND WHAT I HAVE COME THROUGH, YOU WOULD CONSTANTLY BE PRAISING HIS NAME TOO." AGAIN, I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD! WORDS CANNOT DESCRIBE HOW I FEEL INSIDE. PLEASE MAKE SOME TIME FOR JESUS IN YOUR LIFE TODAY. I PROMISE YOU WONT REGRET IT.
