With you until the end of the age....

I have gleaned so much over the last few years by reading the blogged thoughts of wise sisters in Christ. I was reading the blog of a friends older sister and came across this quote:

"Some fears surface over and over again, especially fear of the future. You tend to project yourself mentally into the next day, week, month, year, decade; and you visualize yourself coping badly in those times. What you are seeing is a false image, because it doesn't include Me. Those gloomy times that you imagine will not come to pass, since My presence will be with you at all times.

When a future-oriented worry assails you, capture it and disarm it by suffusing the Light of my Presence into that mental image. Say to yourself, "Jesus will be with me then and there. With His help, I can cope!"

Jesus Calling by Sarah Young

A beautiful truth to take hold of as the new year approaches.

Merry Christmas!
