I got this email today. I needed to hear this. My spirit has been crying out to the Lord to show me that He is still hearing me. Life is good right now but I am still coming down off a very long and difficult year. I've had many moments with the Lord asking for Him to just be very real in the moment. This spoke straight into my heart this morning.
If your God is Mighty enough to ignite the sun, could it be that He is mighty enough to light your path? God is for you. Not "may be," not "has been," not "was," not "would be," but "God is!" He is for you. Today. At this hour. At this minute. As you read this sentence. No need to wait in line or come back tomorrow. He is with you. He could not be closer than he is at this second. His loyalty won't increase if you are better nor lessen if you are worse. He is for you.
God is for you. Turn to the sidelines; that's God cheering your run. Look past the finish line; that's God applauding your steps. Listen for him in the bleachers, shouting your name. Too tired to continue? He'll carry you. Too discouraged to fight? He's picking you up. God is for you.
God is for you. Had he a calendar, your birthday would be circled. If he drove a car, your name would be on his bumper. If there's a tree in heaven, he's carved your name in the bark. We know he has a tattoo, and we know what it says. "I have written your name on my hand," he declares (Isa. 49:16).

Thanks for sharing. We're feeling pretty beat down today with "junk" that we're dealing with, and sometimes it's so easy in the middle of the junk to forget that He truly is for us. I definitely needed to hear this! Thank you!
