Hello!
I wanted to take the time and write to you just to say that you are
special, and I am thinking of you! I
know that the present situation of staying inside and isolated is
challenging and can become lonely. I want to remind you of one person
who will never catch this virus and that we do not need to keep our
distance from: Jesus Christ! He promises to never leave us and never
forsake us. As He says in Deuteronomy 31:6, “Be strong and
courageous…for the Lord your God is the one who goes with you. He
will not fail you or forsake you.” I have drawn strength from this
verse because I can rest knowing that no matter what happens in life
and during this crisis, the one constant that we will never lose is
Jesus. The Bible also assures us in Psalm 27:1 that “The Lord is my
light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?” With God on our side,
we can rest knowing we are safe in Him despite what is happening
around us. As Psalm 46:1 says, “God is our refuge and strength, a
very present help in trouble.” God knows what we need before we ask
and promises to always be with us during our time of need. His
promise in John 16:33 remains true even now: “In this world you
have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.”
Jesus is more powerful than this crisis; it did not surprise Him. We
can rest in His peace and trust Him knowing that He will never leave
us alone. “Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you. Do not
let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful” (John 15:15). I
will be praying for your protection during this time and that you
will experience God’s peace and comfort. You are special and loved! “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:8).
