Morning Devotion

I know this blog is supposed to be more about my travel adventures in the different countries we'll be visiting, but every now and then, I want to also share posts about faith. My spiritual growth is a big part of this journey after all. 

One of our Bible study group leaders sent us this morning devotion via email, and I just wanted to share it with everyone:

"I am always available to you. Once you have trusted Me as your Savior, I never distance Myself from you. Sometimes you may feel distant from Me. Recognize that as feeling; do not confuse it with reality. The Bible is full of My promises to be with you always. As I assured Jacob, when he was journeying away from home into unknown places, I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go. My last recored promise to My followers was: Surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age. Let these assurances of My continual Presence fill you with Joy and Peace. No matter what you may lose in this life, you can never lose your relationship with Me." ~ JESUS CALLING (a book) 

After reading that, I was left speechless for a moment, just trying to soak it all in. I was just so blessed and thankful for the relationship I have with my God. To know that He remains faithful to us even if we are not is humbling.

What hit me the most about the passage above were the lines "I never distance Myself from you. Sometimes you may feel distant from Me. Recognize that as feeling; do not confuse it with reality. The Bible is full of My promises to be with you always." 

Wow. Just wow. I hope this devotion has blessed you, too!
