“Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a Son and they will call Him Immanuel, which means ‘God is with us.’”

Matthew 1:23

God is with us! Isn’t that such a reassuring and encouraging way to start your day. The God who created the world, came down to the earth He created, took the form of a human being, to be with us, to live like us, to eat and drink like us. He came to go through all we go through, hardships, losses, pain, suffering, cruelty and unfairness, so that He could overcome it for US. He bled for us, was beaten for us, and was killed for us, then resurrected Himself on the 3^rd day for US. He did all this so that He could show ‘He was with us and will forever be!’ He is the God who is with us in the good and the bad, in the rainy and stormy seasons of our lives and in the brightest and best moments too. He is God with YOU. Remember today, God is with you. He is not a far away God, but the God who walks with you! Praise Jesus, Immanuel, God with us.
