You Will Always Be with Me

When everything is ready, I will come and get you,

so that you will always be with me where I am.

John 14:3 

I am writing this meditation just a few days after receiving the news that a friend is now with Christ. Currently, Cheryl and I have twenty-four names we bring before the Lord in our daily prayers. At least eight of them may be with Jesus any day. This reality makes Jesus’ promise, quoted above, so comforting to me. And the meditations of the last two days can so ground us in our faith that when Jesus comes for us, we will have no fear as our faith becomes sight.

This promise of Jesus is the tipping point of my response to all the claims he has made on my life. My willingness to entrust my life to God, so that He can use everything in my life for His purpose of transforming me to become like Jesus, rests on this promise of Jesus. My willingness to be an ambassador for Christ and to exchange my human point of view for God’s world view, rests on this promise of Jesus. Because I choose to believe God is love, and that God the Father Almighty, the Creator of heaven and earth, is very fond of me, I know there will be no fear or apprehension in me when Jesus comes for me.

My Takeaway: The first three of Stephen Covey’s Seven Habits implore us to be proactive, beginning with our end in mind, and not to allow the urgent to overshadow the important. My end that I always keep in mind, is that I will always be with Jesus. This ‘end’ allows me to determine when and how to be proactive and how to identify the important priorities in my life. This helps in my being trained in righteousness, the fruit of which is no fear in meeting my Savior face to face.

(Selah is a word that appears in the Book of Psalms that I often use as the Complimentary Closing in my correspondence. Its meaning, as I use the word, is to pause and think about these things.)
