I Am with You Always
Kenneth Clements

Matthew 28:20 And teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.

The greatest gift ever given to us by God was the gift of salvation through His Son Jesus Christ. To accept Him as our personal Savior is the single most important decision we will make. I can remember when I was thirteen years old, I accepted Christ as my personal Savior.
My family was very happy for me but the main trouble I had was my friends’ reactions. Most of them could not understand what was so important about accepting Christ, so they made fun of my newly found faith. As a young Christian this was a very difficult time. To be ridiculed for your faith is one of the most painful things to experience. One thing we must remember through this is that Christ has promised us He will never leave us nor forsake us.
Though people may not take you in with open arms after accepting Christ, remember, He is with us always.

Prayer: Lord, help me today to remember that no matter the reaction people give to me for accepting You, You will always be with me. Help me not to forget Your unconditional love for me and the sacrifice You made on the cross. Thank You for Your promise to never leave me. Amen.
