HE IS ALWAYS THERE

Read this story from my devotional and it increased my faith in God and gave me the assurance that He is always there even when it does not feel or seem so.

Mark’s heart broke to hear that his wife, Susan (not me o!, writing the story as i read it..Lol) had lost her sight but he knew what had to be done. He promised Susan that each morning and evening, he would ride the bus with her, for as long as it took until she got used to it. For weeks, Mark, dressed in his military uniform and all, accompanied Susan to and from work each day. He taught her how to rely on her hearing to determine where she was and how to adapt to her new environment. He helped her befriend the bus drivers who could watch out for her, and save her a seat each time. Susan finally decided that she was ready to try the trip on her own. Monday morning before she left, she threw her arms around Mark, her temporary bus-riding companion, her husband, and her best friend. Her eyes filled with tears of gratitude for his loyalty, his patience, and his love. She said good-bye and they went their separate ways.

Each day on her own wasn’t bad and she had never felt better. She was going to work all by herself. On Friday morning, Susan took the bus to work as usual. As she was paying the fare to exit the bus, the driver said, “Boy, I sure do envy you”. She wasn’t sure if he was speaking to her or not. “Who would envy a blind woman, struggling to live?”, she thought. Curious, she asked the driver, “Why do you envy me?” “It must feel good to be taken care of and protected like you are.” He said. Having no idea what the driver was talking about, she asked, “What do you mean?” “You know, every morning for the past week, a fine-looking gentleman in a military uniform has been standing across the corner watching you as you get off the bus. He makes sure you cross the street safely and he watches you until you enter your office building. Then he blows you a kiss, gives you a little salute and walks away. You are one lucky lady”. Tears of happiness poured down Susan’s cheeks.

For although she could not physically see Mark, he was there nonetheless.

Dear one, do you feel you are all alone and have become depressed that no-one cares? I want to tell you this morning that God is always there with you. If Mark in his human love can always be there for his wife Susan, do you think the one who loves you divinely will leave you? Just like the Liverpool slogan, I tell you “You will never walk alone”, He follows you daily. He takes every step with you.

Even when you cannot see Him, or it feels like He is not there; He is there cheering you up, blowing kisses to you and saluting you. Do not lose hope because He will never leave you all alone, He is closer than you think.

Remain blessed and I love you.
